I just spent a good hour plus creating a Christmas card. Unfortunately, I couldn't send it. It simply doesn't fit, and I say this after having received many beautiful, and creative snail mail and e-cards which were passed along. Somehow, maybe because it is after 1 AM, I feel somewhat somber. I should be rejoicing! This is a time in which to celebrate PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN, and from the deepest caring within me, I wish this for everyone. However, I have to ask, "What happened to the teachings of the Carpenter from Nazareth?" As a civilization, where did we lose our way? More importantly, have we permanently lost our way back?
