I had this funny picture in my head of a freak-show barker shouting, "Come, See a Real Live Preacher".

Out of Town

My family is going to make our final trip to Marshall, Texas to visit my parents for a late Christmas. Ministers can't exactly travel when Sunday is the day after Christmas. It's our last trip to Marshall because my parents are moving to Georgetown, which is much closer to us.

I mentioned that I wasn't going to be writing until January, though I was tempted out of my silence by my desire to post a few thoughts on the tragedy. Those thoughts seem to be creating something of a debate, which is sad to me, but probably my fault. The last thing I want to do is let myself get sucked into debating what a nation should do.

I'm going to stop reading the comments from yesterday. In fact, I'm not going to read ANY email while I am visiting my parents. I'll see you in early January.

peace, if such a thing is possible for any of us right now.
