Black and White

​     One thing is certain in Minnesota as we look outside today.  There will be a long season of black and white.  Around our house the dog will track in the white snow on this paws and will shed his black hair.
     As we enter the Christmas season we can also count on the blackness of sin and chaos in the world, but also thankfully the message of the Christ Child will bring the white message of His forgiveness and love.
