I appreciate this; I grew up in a denomination that didn't participate at all, so I definitely understand complicated feelings. I'm trying to come to appreciate and having a more balanced look at it. Your post was wonderful that way.

Beautiful, dear one - utterly lovely. This year more than others, I've been struck by the movement from Hallowe'en to Advent...something about that is tickling me.

Thank you for this reminder and reflection.

"we wisely recognize that there is evil in this world

and we wisely remember

that our Creator God has overcome it."

I have been reminding my fellow Evangelical friends that God has placed us as a light in this world and to not shrink back. We carry His kingdom with us wherever we go.
