What Is This Crying in Jordan?


"What is this crying in Jordan?"  This Advent line resonates with our nation's broken heartedness.  As the Miserable Offenders' song, Keeping the Baby Awake, says " Who then shall stir in this darkness, prepare for joy in the winter night?"

Yesterday in church I sat behind two little girls with darling outfits and cute braids. They kept smiling up at their mom.   I couldn't help but cry as I thought how precious and fragile they are.

The children at International Community School flood my heart as I reflect on the tragedy of this past week.  I hold their tender shoots with the prayer that they will bloom .  As you view there photos, please hold them in your heart.

Our God is born into our lives....
