13:31Kaleen Deatherage shares the story of Virginia O’Hanlon and Francis Church. The famous line, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus," comes from an editorial written by Church in response to a letter from eight-year-old Virginia, who asked if Santa Claus was real. This editorial was first published in The Sun, a New York newspaper, on September 21, 1897. How do you reconcile your hopes and your fears in this skeptical age? How might you experience 2025 differently if you can abandon yourself to God, and let Spirit do its work within you? No matter what is happening externally, how can you respond to Merton's challenge to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy?…

Perhaps it was recognizing the need to shed something for this transformative moment. When you consider the growing moments of your life, how did shedding play a part in becoming who you are now? Do you remember what it was like to be in that process, how did it feel in the moment? How do you look back on those times now? Have you experienced "shedding your sandals" as you approached the Divine, not necessarily as a sign of honor or respect, but as an acknowledgement of stepping into the Holy ground of creativity and change?…
