This reflection was from two years ago, but is still very real every Christmas. I’m starting to understand Christmas as the season where Christ comes to visit you in the most unexpected ways. If you can only quiet yourself for a few days–unplug the computer, forget your cell phone, and head to the ICU of…

The annoying holiday letter. You know what I'm talking about, right? Here's how it should read.
