The shortest, or is it the longest, day of the year
There’s so much darkness in the world.

Corruption, Politics, Leadership, and Advent
Imagine a world where we automatically assumed that all politicians, leaders, preachers, teachers, cops, judges, social workers, and lawyers were doing their jobs with 100% integrity.
