Joy to the World

So often our joy is dependent on our ability to produce something.
Christmas is about real joy having come.
What a wonderful life, just to bask in the wonder of the Good News, and to enjoy it.

Works in progress, but... enjoying it!

FOCUS

One of the challenges of life is to be able to focus. When you're driving (especially me!). When you're writing an essay. When you're despairingly looking at a never-ending to-to list. But above all, in being able to distinguish between what is peripheral and what is central. So often our blur occurs because we focus on the peripheral and not on the central. And this can happen when facing situations, feelings, issues, dreams, opportunities... As you think of us pray that our focus might be clear. Please.
