Perfectly imperfect

Pastoral Messages | December 17, 2025

Many of you know that I am, in fact, a bit of a Christmas enthusiast. The music, the (bad) movies, the decorations, traditions. All of it. I will battle to the end that Die Hard is a Christmas movie and it should be watched annually, lest the season …
