Start out on a completely new path in your life in the New Year! For some, it might mean a new hobby, or a new career.
The Jeff.pro channel invites you to take a free Python programming class today! Saturday Dec. 17th, 2022, at 3:00pm Eastern.
How would your life be different if you could make a computer do anything you instructed it to do? If you could make your own programs? Why limit your business opportunities only to your ‘local market’ … what if you could deliver solutions to clients from anywhere in the world who needed someone to make custom computer applications for them?
Python has grown to become the most popular computer programming language in the world. We can’t rely on only Silicon Valley to build America and the world’s software any longer. Here’s your chance to step up, get involved! Python goes well with knowledge of the Linux computer operating system that we teach on this Telegram channel.
Jeff.pro trained over 100 new Python programmers in four groups over the course of this year. Our fifth group is filling up now! Today’s class presentation is now complete, you can email shane@jeff.pro for info on how to get on the list!

Last year on Christmas day, the Jeff.pro channel surprisingly (it was not planned!) turned in to a day-long family Dog picture gallery as everyone started posting pictures of their dogs to the channel all day long! 😂
It was great! All of us at the channel look forward to continuing the tradition this year.
So friends, get yer’ Dog pictures ready for next week! 🐕🦮🐶

What is a proper Christian response to people who claim Christmas and other Christian celebrations are “pagan?”
“I believe Christians must part company with those … who advocate totally ignoring the celebration of Christ’s birth. We are unsure of the exact date on which our Savior was born. In fact, Dec. 25 is almost certain not to be the day. Does that matter? The precise day of the year should not deter us from designating a day to celebrate Jesus’ birthday. Further, there is nothing wrong with having family gatherings, exchanging gifts, sending greeting cards, singing, going to special services at church, and enjoying good food God has provided.
We should use Christmas as a special time to witness to unsaved loved ones and acquaintances too.
“Christmas is for children” is quite true. Many of us remember our early childhoods as the time when the account of the Christ Child was especially enthralling. Therefore, we adults can make Christmas a time of unselfish giving toward children (not just material things, by the way), creating great experiences that they will remember all their lives. It is an important part of bringing them up in the training and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). Many of us remember events surrounding our early Christmases better than any other times during our entire childhoods.
These are responses that I believe honor the Lord. Christmas is not going to go away, and critics will always be around. If some Christians cannot in good conscience observe Christmas, or any other Christian celebration, they have the privilege of leaving it alone.”

When King Ahaz was on the throne a prophet called Isaiah was speaking God’s Word to the people.
One of the promises that God gave through Isaiah was this, in Isaiah 9:2 we read, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”
God’s people were desperately waiting for this light to shine into the darkness of their world.
And that is why Christmas is such a wonderful time.
The light has shone.
The one who can save His people from their sins has finally arrived.
He will save His people from their sins

The imperfect characters in the family tree of Jesus reminds us why the world so desperately needed a Saviour.
Look at Matthew verse 18. After this list of names – into the darkness of this family line, we read in verse 18, “This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.”
Jesus – His name means “God saves” – and His title ‘Christ’ means the Messiah – the promised King.
Jesus is the promised one – the one God’s people had been longing for.
And look at the most glorious news in verse 21, “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he WILL save his people from their sins.”
Imagine Joseph’s heart missing a beat as he heard those words.
Finally! Finally the one with the power to sort out sin was on His way.
Finally into the darkness the light was dawning.

The light has dawned
This baby in the manger who we are remembering and celebrating today – came to save the dark world from our sins.
This Christmas morning should fill us with great joy.
Jesus has shone the light of salvation into our dark world.
That is why lights are such an appropriate decoration this time of year.
Now what?
So today light those candles
Turn on the Christmas lights on your tree or around your home.
But let all of those flickering, twinkling lights remind you of the greatest light that has shone into history.
It is a mind bending thought that the same voice that said, “Let there be light!” – that same voice could be heard crying in the manger that first Christmas.

On that day angels sang and lit up the sky. Hope rang out in a newborn’s cry. The saviour was born!
The light has shone into the darkness.
As we look at Jesus’ family tree you may have at times wondered how some of these people could possibly lead up to Christ.
But just as these people were in the line leading to Christ, so our names can be included in the line that leads from Christ.
He came to save people like that – and people like this – people like you and me – He came to save us from our sins.
Jesus was the only hope for the people in His family tree – Jesus is the only hope for all of us living in this dark, sinful world

The light is still shining in the darkness.
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail, the Sun of righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen with healing in His wings,
Mild, He lays His glory by;
Born that man no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of earth;
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! The herald angels sing:
‘Glory to the new-born King!
This is a King worth celebrating. Let’s celebrate Him today – and every day.
The light of Salvation has shone into the darkness of our world.
Joy to the world the Lord has come!

Thanks to David Hill in South Africa, for today’s Christmas message
To those of you who insist on posting anti-Christmas dissent,
Forgive us, forgive me, I understand your independent minds and celebrate your fiercely independent thought, you are beautiful people.
I can’t help but find reason to be happy as the world pauses to celebrate the birth of Christ, even if they are wrong about the exact date. Call it what you will, I find it a reason to be filled with joy, I am always very, very happy at Christmas time
I named my only son Chris in honor of Christ and we talk about Jesus every day,
This way, in our household, every day is Christmas!

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, we give thanks that in your great mercy and compassion you allowed your dear Son to become incarnate and through him redeemed us from sin and eternal death. O almighty and eternal God, mercifully direct our ways that we may walk in your law; enlighten our hearts by your Holy Spirit that we may always be thankful for such grace and be comforted in all trouble and temptation, and at last, obtain eternal salvation; through your beloved Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one true God, now and forever. Amen.

Last year I started learning Linux (thanks Jeff!!!). I set up a desktop with mint and a phone with graphene os. I set up my own vpn on a vps. I hosted my own website on another vps. I started working on my own cloud server on another vps. I signed up for the python classes.... And then I decided we needed better elected officials so I ran for office. So, since march, I was campaigning (no, I didn't win.) Finally that is over and I am so happy to be BACK!!! Picking up where I left off last year. I'm so excited to finish this journey.

Does Microsoft keep ‘creeping’ towards the wrong side of Digital Ethics?
In the second half of 2022, admins on the Jeff.pro channel and our support email started fielding reports of Windows 11 users with Chinese-spy-government-ware (i.e., TikTok), being installed on their computer, when they never requested it.
After a few months, we realized it was happening to users throughout the internet. It’s a rumor that just won’t go away—is Microsoft in business with China?
If you followed the suggestions of the Jeff.pro channel, you switched your computer’s Operating System to Free and Open Source Linux, a long time ago, so this is not a concern to you.
If you’re still on Windows … it’s time to seriously consider making 2023 the year you commit to putting in the time to learn about a better path forward for your Digital life, with FOSS and the Linux O.S., a complete replacement for Windows on your computer.
