(From the archives, August, 2012) I once heard it said that the last thing a fish knows is water. It flips and rolls in its liquid universe unaware of its dependence on sea, lake, or river until it surfaces to a world of too much oxygen, takes its last little fish gasp, so to speak,…

My prompt to begin this blog just now is to encourage all who may stop by for a reminder–or perhaps to hear for the first time–that a certain gift of peace bequeathed by the Prince of Peace some 2000 years ago is still available—even in such a time as this. I invite you to pause…
