My 2019 ended with a wow, a whoa, a boom, and a bang. (Because I love fireworks almost all my years end with a bang.)  
 
On December 24, I was amazed to see our Living Streams sanctuary so full, and still filling, as our 4:00 pm Christmas Eve service began.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Christmas is here in Phoenix. The traffic has picked up around all the shops and the weather has dipped, leaving morning frost on the rooftops and windshields. By midday we enjoy sunny and 75º, and all the winter lawns are looking nice and green.

As we head toward the end of 2019 a couple of year-end items are stirring in my mind. 

The first item is Christmas.

I am very excited about this Christmas season at Living Streams. Our Christmas season is going to be crafted with a historical Advent flavor.
