  • A Family Christmas Devotional
    A FAMILY CHRISTMAS DEVOTIONAL 1 A devotional focused on the events of 2020 2 What a year … While it probably seems a little cliche at this point, we recognize that 2020 has been a year unlike any in recent memory. From a global pandemic, to civic unrest, to an extremely contentious election season, it has often seemed like Hell must be throwing everything at us (including the kitchen sink). We are all worn and weary, and in need of some rest and hope. Unfortunately, the holidays are often anything but restful, aren’t they? If anything, the days are filled with nonstop to-do’s, activities, more stress, and the rush to “fit everything in.” For many of us, it can feel like we’re just barely making it to New Year’s alive. And in the midst of the frenzy and stress, we often miss what this season is truly all about. Does the true meaning of Christmas even matter anymore? Are we just running around all month for silly, old-fashioned traditions? Most of us probably know that all of this began with a story in the Bible, but how do we know we can even trust that anymore? And if we can’t trust it, then why are we adding more stress and busyness at the end of a long, stressful year? If you’ve ever wondered in your own spirit if all of this really matters, don’t worry; you’re not alone! All of the questions are understandable – especially this year – but especially because of how stressful this year has been, we want to help point you and your loved ones back to the true meaning of Christmas.

Krzos News Editor The Sanibel City Council put the brakes on restau- rants Tuesday, banning future fast food, chain and formula establishments from the city. "What we set out to do is eliminate fast food from our island," City Council member Bob Davison said. "It will achieve the objective council set out to do— preserve the island's ambiance." Larry Thompson led the charge against the ordi- nance. Under the law's original wording, his Lazy Flamingo restaurants would have become non-con- forming. "The way the ordinance has been changed and adopted, the Lazy Flamingo only meets one of the specifications for formula food-—the similar name," Thompson said, adding he was pleased with some of the final language. Although the long-debated ordinance drew praise from its supporters and even from some opponents, the unintended consequences of the ordinance are already beginning to surface. Thompson issued a warning to council saying that he believes that by excluding grocery stores from the definition of eating place, a fast food franchise would be allowed to open a restaurant inside a grocery store such as the McDonald's inside the Wal-Mart in Fort Under the new ordinance, restaurants like Dairy Queen would not be permitted to rebuild in •please see page 9 A the event of a devastating hurricane.
