Someone once asked me, “How do you sum up Christmas?” I answered by borrowing a few lines from Henri Nouwen:
“God is not in the distant heavens or in the hidden depths of the future, but here and now. God has pitched a tent among us. Even more than that, God has made a home in us so that we can make God’s home our home.”
On this Christmas Eve, I invite you to ponder the wonder of God dwelling among us. Envision the birth of the Lamb of God. On one level, his birth was so basic, mundane, and low. Yet, on the other hand, his birth was majestic and captivating to behold. Hold it all. Allow the Spirit of God to enlighten you as you ponder Jesus Christ, Lord of All.

Upcoming Ukraine Mission Team as they travel to Krivoy Rog.
You might know I serve at a church that has a long-standing ministry in Ukraine. I’m delighted my church serves in this capacity. Some of you constantly ask what one can do to help this ministry. First, please pray for Ukraine, their citizenry—especially their orphans. Second, if you would like to financially aid this ministry, below is a link that lists some of the needs for the orphans we support.
