​Christmas! As hectic as it has become, we enjoy the inevitability of the season that punctuates each passing year. It brings back those old favorite songs for another encore. We visit extended families and enjoy parties with our friends. A sour world keeps roaring into an uncertain future, Christmas is a kind of security blanket that connects us to the past.

​How do you start your day? Do you get up and turn the TV on? Do you turn on the radio because you like to hear Doobie Brothers? But have you thought there is a better way to start your morning?

​I have a question to ask. What would cause a person to leave the comforts of a Kingdom to go to a place where everything has been destroyed? Walls, buildings, gates, and nothing to work with to rebuild the city back?
