December 24th

“to give light to those who sit

         in darkness and in the

         shadow of death,

   to guide our feet into the

         way of peace.”  Luke 1:79

with stubbornness

as our default setting,

we would rather keep

down the roads potholed

with anger, bitterness,

and hate, rather

than giving you time

to repave them with

peace and grace.
