It's been a rough year. May God's goodness and presence be visible to us all as the neighborhood Christmas lights.
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth: peace, goodwill to all!"

Welcome to this blog. It contains my thoughts on our efforts to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. My current update schedule is once a week as time permits. Thank you for reading.

Christian Reconciliation Carnival / Mission
The original Carnival format drew some loyal and thoughtful participants, but did not draw enough participants for the Carnival to be the right format in the long run. The original Carnival links are below.
The Reconciliation Mission is currently taking the form of cataloging the controversies that divide the church and trying to advance reconciliation by first aiming at understanding. The index page for this effort is here:

God either ordained all this, or has allowed it.
The death of a close family member at an advanced age was not a surprise. Given her condition, I would have been surprised if she had completed the year. Still, it wasn't easy.
Take care & God bless
