It is the 4th week of Advent and we are on the cusp of Christmas. Love is the order of the day. I spend some time answering the question, “Why love?”
It is the day of Pentecost (the birthday of the Church) but it is a day we lament the racism in our nation. How do these two go together? The Spirit gives us the strength to be advocates.
