Dear Readers,

Have a very Merry Christmas! May your day be filled with gingerbread houses, boards games, and over-stuffed stocking! Over the last few days, I have had the privelege

of a holiday season filled with cookies dough and hot chocolate. Sledding and shoveling and snow... Due to illness, we regrettably missed our church's Christmas Eve service, but during dinner preparations we sang caroles and reflected on the beauty of the season.

May your holiday be filled with the infinite grace of God, who loves us no matter what we look like, our background, or what we do.
