I Need A Silent Night

I've made the same mistake before
Too many malls, too many stores
December traffic Christmas rush
It breaks me till I push and shove
Children are crying While mother's are trying
To photograph Santa and sleigh
The shopping and buying and standing forever in line
What can I say?

I need a silent night A holy night
To hear an angel voice Through the chaos and the noise
I need a midnight clear A little peace right here
To end this crazy day With a silent night

December comes, then disappears
Faster and faster every year 
Did my own mother keep this pace
Or was the world a different place?Where people stayed home wishing for snow 
Watching three channels on their TV
Look at us now rushin' around
Tryin' to buy Christmas peace

I need a silent night A holy night
To hear an angel voice Through the chaos and the noise
I need a midnight clear A little peace right here
To end this crazy day With a silent night

What was it like back there in Bethlehem
With peace on earth, good will toward men?

Every shepherd's out in the field
Keeping watch over their flock by night
And the glory of the Lord shone around them
And they were so afraid
And the angels said "Fear not for behold I bring you good news Of a great joy that shall be for all people
For unto you is born this day a Savior Who is Christ the Lord
And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace"

I need a silent night A holy night
To hear an angel voice Through the chaos and the noise
I need a midnight clear A little peace right here
To end this crazy day With a silent night
To end this crazy day With a silent night -Amy Grant-


Until then... Jessie

Light Always Wins

 I was seven when I stepped foot into the Tel Aviv Airport accompanied by my stepdad - a Palestinian. The Israeli soldiers stood armed as they ripped through each of our suitcases, pulled my dad into a room for questioning, and detained us for several hours. We were not there as tourists. We were on our way to Jericho to visit family... but we were the enemy. Even at seven the hatred between all was undeniable. As a child I did not comprehend fully but I remember...fear. Walking the roads of that country for a month is an experience I will never forget. I remember once being at a family member's home while they argued over who was right, the Jews or Palestinians. I remember the tears, the anger, and shouting. I can't recall most of the words spoken that day. I don't know whose argument was stronger. What I do know is...what the Bible says about God's chosen people, and that in war... no one wins...even when it is necessary there is always suffering for both sides. The J...

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity.  Hatred and poison spewed from their lips.  Murderer!  Whore!  Baby killer!  You'll rot in Hell for what you did!  Over and over...  The savage mob encircled me with no escape.  Screaming just a breath away from my face.  Shoving with such force I was almost knocked to the ground.  They spat in my hair.  Humiliated.  Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pushed through the violence.  Once inside my car I began to weep.   Even in the present their vile words reel through my mind.  Beads of sweat began to form in my tightly clinched fists.  Squirming in my chair... biting my lower lip as an attempt to hold it together.  Peering above the Pastor's head as though I was looking at him... knowing if I did I would burst into tears.  That was my experience at church...
