Light in the darkness...

Today a young person from my church returns to Iraq. Yesterday Americans killed and wounded one another buying trinkets at Wall-Mart and Toys-R-Us to honor the Prince of Peace. And throughout the Thanksgiving weekend many of us were moved to tears as the grim details of the Mumbai assault were revealed.

In the midst of this - and much more - darkness, my friends at MyPeace.TV forwarded this clip of a sign of light in the darkness. It comes from the organization Friends Without Borders -

http://www.friendswithoutborders.org/index.html - who have a heart for being agents of shalom in these crazy times.

You might also enjoy the contemplative art of Jan Richardson at The Advent Door: http://theadventdoor.com/. I have found her art insightful and her words encouraging in these dark times.

And don't forget The Advent Conspiracy: http://www.adventconspiracy.org/ who have posted this clip to help us on the journey.
