Emanuel

Oh come, Desire of Nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind
Bid envy, strife and quarrel cease
Fill the world with endless peace.

Amen.

So I am home in Oregon for Christmas!
It's wet here. I took the dog for a walk and had to wear a rain coat. When we got home, there was so much rain on the raincoat I was afraid to go inside because I might get everything wet. So I brushed the water off onto the dog.
...
Also, I got the writer job at Chapman, so hooray for employment in the new year!
...
Everyone in my house is asleep. shhhh!
. . . I don't really know what to do with myself.
