We are a people wandering in the desert.  We are a people addicted to news and the "news' today, at least television broadcast news, makes its revenue from reporting the worst.  When there is nothing fantastically wrong going on in the world, reporters will stand outside with panic in their voices reporting something that is"almost bad" making the crowd almost cheer-on the event in hopes it WILL turn bad. And, where is the good news?  At the end of an  exaggerated crisis reporting  half hour- maybe.

If we pay too much attention, and invest our emotinal energy in the leading news, we may tune out and miss the good news at the end of the broadcast -- the "feel good" news.

But everyday we have an opportunity to be a part of the Good News of the nativity.  The Promise.  The Love.  The Light of the World.
---
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light and the angels brought them good news.  
Good News, Good News, an Angel
brings Good News
Good News, Good News, leave you 
with Good News

Close your eyes, fold your hands
For a moment let your sorrow fade

Why? Oh why are you afraid?
Has this world stripped you of your Faith?

Close your eyes and on bended knee,
listen to an angel pray

And once again prepare the way,
So you'll see a gift that's given

For you, a time of joy
Behold, a baby boy

Bow your head, speak not a word
Let the silence take you far from here

The spirit of a child dry every tear
And may your doubts they disappear

Bow your head and on bended knee
Hear the story once again

The child grew up to wear a cross
The child grew up to pledge a life

For us, a time of joy
Behold, Christ a baby boy

Good News, Good News, an Angel
brings Good News
Good News, Good News, I bring you,
an Angel brings
Good News 
-------
Joy to the World! Turn off the bad news just for today.  Behold the Star.  Behold the Lamb.  Behold the joy that is yours.  Good News. Good News.
