How are we preparing? – Advent 2
What are we doing to prepare for Jesus this Advent season? We’re probably lighting the Advent candle(s) each week–and maybe during the week as well. We’re unpacking our nativity s…

Yesterday a news story broke with some leaked texts from a chat room frequented by leaders of the New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont chapters of Young Republicans. The texts were horrifying! Is…
