christmas is an act of war
I love Christmas. It is my favorite time of year, and I anticipate it all year long. The music, the movies, the cold weather, the hot cocoa, it’s all magical. Yet none of this compares to the true joy of the season – the birth of Christ.

Suffering and waiting are part of the Christian life. Recently a friend and I have been commiserating over not having what we’ve been praying for, for so long. It’s been a long road of waiting and heartache. Sometimes, you just wonder: Why? Why am I waiting, O Lord? What lesson am I not understanding? Why must more heartache come? How much longer will I feel this way?
