Merry Christmas! When I have to say something difficult or controversial from this pulpit I often look up and draw courage from this stained glass window of the warrior St. Martin. It reminds me of the people at St. Martin’s Church in Davis, California. Growing up as a boy they took me seriously. They taught me about God’s love in words and action. They gave me a chance to help and valued whatever contribution I made.
