I just want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the community that gathers around these web pages. The dialogue/discussion/community-life that takes place here has become one of the richest and most important sources in my life from which I draw an immeasurable amount of strength, encouragement, support, challenge, growth, chastisement (in the most positive, biblical sense of the word), and affirmation. The ongoing conversation provides me with a constant growth-edge because of the diverse perspectives that are shared here with both honesty and love.
I feel a friendship and connection to all who take part, even the occasional readers, that I would not have thought possible in a "cyber" community.
The Holy Spirit, expressing Himself through the diverse Body of Christ as we commune with one another, is the miracle of the incarnation that we get to experience day in and day out--not just on Christmas.
Thanks so much for being a significant part of that expression in my life!
Have a Blessed Christmas, Roger
