Christmas brings us to the collision of the mundane and the mystical

Is God holding out on us? We expect Christianity "to work", but does it?

Remember Jesus is the light of the world.

Whether you are living your "Plan A" life or you are on your "Plan K" life, Christmas can be a tricky time for Christians.

Don't "just open" the bible unless you open to the middle and pray the Psalms, letting them mentor you and me.

Jesus was really clear about how to pray and that we would be rewarded.

A follower of Jesus can turn to the book of Psalms as consistently useful to pray the range of human experience.

Ultimatums seem like a great way to protect ourselves but they wreck love and block wisdom.

We learn true care and community in honesty about our hypocrisy.

Sometimes we discover a small gift of mercy in the midst of our suffering, but it doesn't explain why we suffer.
