It's beautiful, and a help to me in my Advent musings.

May I have your permission to use some of them as part of our am worship, words to meditate on in preparation for worship. I will give you credit in print. Please let me know if you are ok with that. You may contact me by email - jody@bgmc.net. I serve as pastoral assistant at Blooming Glen Mennonite Church. Blessings, Jody Moyer Justin,

This is a wonderful portrayal of the goodness found in many of the student body at GC that we sometimes don't hear. Thank you!
