I love Christmas. I love the snow. I love the lights and decorations. I love the music and the cards and the parties and the family gatherings and watching all the old favorite Christmas movies. Most of all, I love the focus of the season—Christ.
Like all of us, I would be completely lost if not for Him. So I am especially joyful at this time of year when we celebrate the anniversary of His birth.
In honor of Christmas, we will suspend posting the terrible stories that remind us of how broken and fallen our world is so that we all can concentrate, undistracted by ugliness, on all that we have to be grateful for, starting with the birth of our savior. Don’t think we’ve gone away. We haven’t and we won’t. We will resume the Monday after Christmas.
Please continue to support our ministry throughout the rest of the year, and as we enter 2014.
Unlike many 501(c)3 organizations, our ministry deals with many ugly and disturbing issues. We rarely have happy stories to tell. That takes its toll on everyone involved. While most people are as concerned as we are about the problem of child sexual abuse, there are not many people who can handle working to combat it day after day. At the same time we are committed to growing and expanding our reach. Ultimately, we will fail in achieving our objective unless we are able to educate a critical mass of average people, going about their day to day lives, to the point where they are able to spot predators and keep them away from our children.
We need your help and support to accomplish this goal. (more...)
