Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! Advent is behind us, and Christmas is almost here – who else is feeling the pressure to get everything left to be done DONE? As you finish your last minute tasks and prepare for your Christmas Eve services, take time to breathe and remember that God didn’t choose to send the Son into a perfect world. In fact, God sent the Son into a world that was broken, fragmented, soiled, and not at all ready. If that describes your world, take heart. If God had waited for us to get everything ready and “just so,” Jesus would never have come. So, breathe – and be blessed by the Spirit all around you.

Merry Christmas!
