Christmas?

How can this be, Christmas already? In the library yesterday they were playing Christmas music. In the stores here in Papua, you can find a Christmas aisle... How can it be Christmas already? Mijo has been sneaking Christmas music into our house through the back door. She plays it on her Ipod and sings it...we are beginning to realize that the season is upon us...but really? Is it really Christmas already?

Maybe here in Papua we will escape the hoopla, or maybe we will enter a whole new hoopla just in a different language. One of these years that illusive peace at Christmas will come and what an amazing present that will be.

We are healing, all of us, pysically and emotionally. It will take time and some of our wounds will leave some scars.
