24 December 2025 – Christmas Truce
Because I believe that justice and peace are possible.
Despite the armed violence and warfare that rips the world,
despite the silent testimony of the dead,
despite the witness of the wounded,
despite the heartache of the displaced,
despite the silent cries of creation,
despite the devastation and the rubble,
I believe that justice and peace are possible.
Because I believe, 24 December will always include a playlist focused on the 1914 Christmas Truce. I recognize that my beliefs, statements, and actions my not make a significant difference, but I stand on my right to believe, speak, and act as I choose.
