Mike Huckabee in 2007 and Now

I was looking through some of my older writings, and found something I had forgotten about...some thoughts on Mike Huckabee and his boldness in sharing his faith and feelings about Christmas, 2007, when he was hoping to be President. Now, two years later, we see how blessed Mike Huckabee has been, he has a wonderful show on FOX News...is gracious to all of his guests, no matter what their view or background, yet honest and bold when needed. And he has been promoting a new book for Christmas 2009.

At the time that I wrote the following, he was a Presidential wanna-be, originally posted December 19, 2007:

Christmas never went anywhere, and neither has Christ, people have moved away from Christmas and Christ until up from Iowa there arose so much chatter, and everyone listened to see what was the matter! Mike Huckabee decided to boldly proclaim his feelings about Christmas, saying Merry Christmas, and much more!

As a result, some of the other Candidates are SUDDENLY saying
Merry Christmas! For me, this is just wonderful. By being bold and unashamed of what he believes, Mike Huckabee has moved WAY over to the right, and is pulling some of those hanging out in the center over with him, at least when it comes to saying Merry Christmas. Why? Because it's obvious that people are LISTENING, and like what they HEAR, including this blogger.

Now, lest we get caught up in the political aspect of this alone, let me just say that you can say "Merry Christmas" all you want, what is really important is knowing what is so special about the One who's birth we celebrate on Christmas...and that isn't politics, it's Truth.
