There are times in the practice of ministry where I find myself in the waiting room, accompanying someone who is undergoing a procedure or surgery of one sort or another.

2nd Week of Advent – Pastoral Letter

I’ve found over the years that sometimes it takes a week or so before it really sinks in. We really are awaiting the birth […]
