The headlines are shouting doom and despair at me,but today I am not listening. The headlines are shouting doom and despair at me, but today I am not listening. Our culture is yelling obscenities at me, but today I am not listening. Problems and annoyances are mocking and taunting me, but today I am not giving in. Not today. Not now. Maybe not tomorrow or the next day either. For now I am enthralled by one simple, beautiful word, and you should be, too. We should all be absorbed in awe over one amazing, mind-blowing word – Emmanuel, God is with us
Emmanuel: God is With Us!
