Merry Christmas!

2016 has been the kind of year that makes it a bit harder to really celebrate, to really feel those carols that sing of hope and joy and the One who is with us through all our troubles. But God really is with us, closer than our next breath, and that's always worth celebrating.

So I can't help myself... I have to recycle this video from last year's moodlings on this Christmas Eve, this celebration of God-with-Us. Have a beautiful Christmas, and may 2017 be a time for love above all else.

The glory of the Lord shines around us, and we hear good news of great joy. Don't be afraid! It's a glorious night! Let the Earth receive her King!
