A Christmas Prayer: “We Are Still in the Sea... Not Sure [Who] Is Coming
PASTOR'S BLOG
Those are the last words of 30-year-old Shakar Ali Pirot, one of over thirty Middle East migrants who perished in the English Channel a few nights ago, their desperate flight to freedom ending tragically. In this case, the electronically captured recording of the cry for help from the sinking dinghy says it all: “We are still in the sea between the UK and France. We're not sure which is coming [to rescue us]”.
Happy 100th Birthday!

It had been a hard year for the family. Expenses had been high, income ran low. They had to go to the food bank to receive powdered milk, blocks of cheese, and whatever other staples were available. They had a few special treats. By the middle of December, the children began asking questions.
