Verse of the Day: “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. For those who lived in a land of deep shadows— light! sunbursts of light!" (Is. 9:6)

Things that are awesome: ... My favorite book to read at Christmas time- by far.  I was bummed they didn't read it at our Christmas Eve service this year! Basically the story of three trees who all start out with very different dreams, but all end up being tied into the story of Jesus in the end.  Awesome illustrations and just really good writing in general.  I'm going to have to pick it up and read it again soon.
House quote of the day:
 House: "You're allergic to your cat. We can control it w antihistamine pills.   Or a nasal spray."
 Patient: "Pills? Steroids? Isn't there ANYTHING else you can give me?"
House: "Well, if you live by a river I have a bag."

Far Side of the Day:

Psych Fact of the Day: Montreux Clinic= famous eating disorder center in Canada in the 90's that was supposed to offer a "miracle cure" for anorexics who had tried the traditional health care system.  Ended up being shut down after licencing found out that staff did not have appropriate training, and that clients were being held against their will and abusively force-fed.
