    But God had a purpose in us not knowing everything. Illus: A man was wandering around a fairground and he happened to see a fortuneteller's tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh, he went inside and sat down. "Ahh....." said the woman, as she gazed into her crystal ball. ...read more

    The overarching message of the Advent is "Peace on Earth". But when we look around, peace seems to be the last thing we seem to be having. How can we experience the peace that Advent offers?

    Peace! Is it as elusive as it seems? There is a strong need for us discuss the issue of peace today. If we look around us, not many of us find peace, but conflicts and war and strife and violence in abundance all around us. Two seasonal aspects brought this topic up to the top of my mind.
