Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. — Martin Luther King Jr.

Why isn't Baby Jesus in the manger? It’s not time to file a missing person’s report. It’s tradition for the Baby Jesus to be absent from the creche or manger scene during Advent. The Season of Advent is about waiting for Jesus to arrive on Christmas, afterall. So, we wait for him to take his place in our Christmas decor, too.

Today, gather any winter clothes you won’t be wearing this season and give them to Goodwill or another local ministry or nonprofit organization that accepts clothing as part of its mission.
