What must it have been like to be the first people to gaze on God himself in the flesh—an innocent baby dependent on you to feed and nurture him? Did Joseph & Mary imagine what for that parenting journey in raising God? Could they have anticipated what the journey to the Cross would be like resulting in new life for all who would choose to follow after Jesus? Last year, our adult children gave us as a Christmas gift this new version of a song we had written, performed, and produced several years ago on an album called The Birth. They reconstructed the original version with each member of our family performing… including the littles at the end. :)
Original music by Eric & Lori True
Produced by Chris True
Performed by Colin True, Chris True, Chloe Gall & Taylor Gall
Special Appearances by Kadin True, Ele True, Hudson True, Judah Gall, Jonah Gall & Benjamin Gall
Mary, you look beautiful tonight as I’m staring at this child I can see he has your eyes From the day you broke the news that we were going to be used To bring life to God’s own Son I couldn’t understand how the Father touched you with His hand But now it’s plain to see That you and I are here tonight To begin a journey planned for us before the start of time You and I will love this child, our baby, born to set men free Joseph, in your eyes I see the joy for this precious little boy We will love him more than life And I pray that we’ll be used to bring forth this wondrous news Our Messiah came to share We’ll build a home that the Father watches from His throne Til His Son is in his arms You and I are here tonight To begin a journey planned for us before the start of time You and I will love this child, our baby, born to set men free
Merry Christmas!
Emmanuel—God is with us…

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
