‘The Glorious Impossible’
...obligations. We long for times of contemplation amid the noise of commercialism. Recent world events have affected the mood of this Advent season as well. For those of us who can sit through an entire newscast, and understandably many of us can’t, we’re shocked and appalled by the atrocities and discord taking place in Israel and the Middle East. Sadly, the land of Christ’s birth is not a safe place to be, making the annual pilgrimage to Bethlehem out of...
