Wildwords: Sermons From Wildwood Mennonite Church

Sing it with me... "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!!!!!" Does that feel a little forced? A few too many exclamation points, a bit too much sugar, a little bit of emptiness behind the eyes of that forced smile? Yes, it's Christmas. And yes, life is still full of tragedy, trauma, fears and longings. Some big and existential, far too many local and personal. An ancient reality, right back to the manger and the shepherds keeping watch over their flocks by night. What do we do with the tension of Christmas? Is there beauty and even Joy somewhere within it all?
