We have made it to the final day of a year like no other. If you had told me back in January that, in short order, life would end up looking like it does now, I'd have rolled my eyes. Because no one could ever even dream up something like 2020. Enough has been described in the few blog posts I actually felt like writing this year. If I want to remember anything, it is that we adapted. Every day of living and breathing this year held the possibility of something else coming out of left field. And the most bizarre thing was, these changes didn't just affect our family, our community, or even our country. Everyone around this gigantic planet had to deal with upheaval and chaos this year. I won't call reaching the end of 2020 a victory. The four of us within these walls have all wrestled with restlessness, apathy, negativity, laziness, and a stalled walk with the Lord. Most of this year has been like tumbling down a hill. It's not how we intended to get down, but at least...

Merry Christmas

I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play And mild and sweet their songs repeat Of peace on earth, goodwill to men Then in despair I bowed my head There is no peace on earth, I said For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men Then rang the bells more loud and deep God is not dead nor doth He sleep The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth, goodwill to men Peace on earth Peace on earth Peace on earth Goodwill to men Merry Christmas, everyone
