Do you remember TV dinners?  I thought of them as sort of a treat when I was a kid. We didn’t have them often, but when we did, I got to help.  Peeling off the tin foil top or poking holes over the mashed potatoes, it all seemed like fun. Nowadays they don’t call them TV dinners.

 The “Year of the Bible” will apparently last 24 months in Kentucky.

Gov. Matt Bevin has declared 2017 the “Year of the Bible” in Kentucky even though he proclaimed 2016 the “Year of the Bible” last December.

Both proclamations pleased Pastor Mark Harrell of Victory Christian Fellowship church in Somerset, who said Wednesday that Bevin’s actions are in support of a statewide Bible reading marathon.

It is easy to forget that Christmas was not always what we have experienced all our lives.  The trees and toys, the TV specials and holiday movies, the shopping and Black Friday, it seems like they have been around forever.  The truth is that all of that is fairly new.
