These are troubling times.
But we are about to enter a season that celebrates one of the greatest things that has happened on this earth; the birth of Jesus Christ.
You don’t have to believe the miracles, the stories or the myths. He was real, he did live and the values that came out of that period of time have guided us for a long long time.
There are of course other values in our past that we can draw upon when things are less than perfect.
The music of Ludwig Beethoven will do it for me and for those who want to know more about the library has an excellent event taking place on January 12th
