As we pause until after the New Year, may our Lord gift you His grace and peace these weeks. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

… a bond-servant … of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord … grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. (2 Pet 1:1-2; 3:18)
