So, if you are more comfortable saying Happy Holidays to me, I'll say Happy Holidays right back at you.... Knowing in my heart that you may be trying to live into the uncomfortableness of this new normal we proclaim tonight. And that effort is helping to bring the kingdom alive, now, here.  

A Blessed Christmas to you. May each of you partake in an awakening to the joy that living into the new normal can provide by responding to that gentle invitation to move closer to this surprising Jesus and discover God's love is there for all of us.
