Shaver Christmas Letter 1997

"May all your hearts be open to receiving
the twin mysteries of the glad tidings
this season reminds us of:

1. When our hope is in God, it comes to us in
spite of the conditions of our existence
rather than because of them;

2. This liberating and reconciling Word of
God addresses the real conditions of our
existence, not the ones we wish we were in.

God rest you merry !
