Christmas truly is the most wonderful time of the year. While 2020 has been a year of challenge, hardship, and loss for many in our state and nation, celebrating the incarnation of Jesus Christ – Emmanuel, God with us – transcends the restrictions and deprivation we have endured. The truth that the Son of God became the Son of Man and dwelt among us is foundational to the Christian faith and is our everlasting source of hope and joy.

Dissolve that “glue” and the family and a nation fall apart, as we have seen in the bowels of big cities. Democrat policies under “social justice” have driven a wedge into the “glue” of the nuclear family but they either don’t seem to realize it. or don’t care.
In his classic work, “The Book of Virtues,” former U.S. Secretary of Education William J. Bennett recounts the story of a young boy who brought death and ruin upon himself and his community by his lies. We have all heard the tale over and over again in our youth. It goes like this.
