Symbiosis: Beneficial Friendships

In my school days, I had tracing paper and carbon paper to help me draw, but the former set my teeth on edge and the latter made me sneeze. Nowadays, I still can’t draw a creditable amoeba.

How Silently, How Silently

"What's your favorite Christmas song?"

When I am asked this question, I usually over-answer. I break it down into categories. How can I help it? How do you compare "Merry Christmas, Baby" to "Someday at Christmas?"

And so, as the inquirer's eyes gloss over, I present my favorites like I'm a senior yearbook.

The Best Gift of All

For the fourth Sunday of Advent, the couple who lit the Advent wreath read about the birth of Christ.  They discuss how the greatest gift of all came in the form of a tiny baby.  

For those who were awaiting a warrior king, it was so far beyond their expectations, that they didn’t even notice.  Not only did the Messiah come as a baby, he was born in less than ideal circumstances.

Christmas Babies

Shortly after I was born, my mother wrote the following words:

"Dearest Lori: When I look at you, it's like looking into a mirror, only the reflection is pure innocence untainted by the worldliness and all the evils of the world, flesh and devil.

How I pray you may always stay this way, spiritually innocent in the sight of God. This is my one wish for you, that you will always be close to our Divine Lord, whose birthday you share.
