By Arnold Krusemark Ready or not this is the week-end of Christmas this year. Whatever plans you have will have to do although over the years we’ve had last minute items we can sure remember (good and bad). With rarest exception one important thing was the Christmas dinner and guests. Then any presents to share and conversation too. By then it was time for an second food service usually with a second piece of pie or whatever. Then it was time to head for home. As hinted above sometimes there was last minute events to change our plans and sometimes it was how we got together and who we were with.

Flight into Egypt through the Eyes of a Weary Traveler (Remnants of a trip to Assisi) Story was inspired by Shellee Leif. “Would you—from a message of an angel, leave your family and all you know and go where I ask you to go?” It’s a fair question we all must come to terms with at some point in our faith journey.
