Hi.

We probably don't know each other, but Christmas is on the way, and I wanted to introduce myself.

Then again, my name isn't really that important. I'm nobody special, but I still wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you, and I'm even praying for you.

See, I know you're going through a hard time.

Someone you love died.

Maybe someone you once trusted hurt you deeply. Or maybe your mother is suffering or your children are going through a rough patch.

Maybe a loved one died by suicide or cancer or lymphoma, alcoholism, heart attack, old age, a car wreck.

And then again, maybe it's you who's in distress.

Maybe the doctor gave you bad news.

Maybe your life is falling apart.

Maybe you're in a god-awful state.

Maybe you are lying on the floor, weeping when you accidentally picked up your phone

and listened to this little podcast.

Well, please keep listening because you're the person who I'm talking to.
