My Christmas Poem 2009
I like to write short poems during the holidays to help me focus on the season and what it means to me. I encourage you to do the same for yourself. Here is mine for this year:

O come O come Emmanuel
and ransom captive Israel
who scattered like lost sheep throughout the world
grow hungry and weak in this stable’s hold
O come Emmanuel and set us free
To the bright and shining star of your sovereignty
Rescue us from all of our despair
And lead us home to the victory there
Our home is with you and with you we will stand
And sing there forever with the angels according to your plan
