This nugget comes to you from Erbil, Iraq, where I am visiting our brethren, especially those you have been helping start family businesses. Every Advent different themes emerge and the image of the “warmth and fire” of Christ has struck me powerfully this year. The great Russian Orthodox Saint, Seraphim of Sarov, has some beautiful words to meditate on during this week, about the “warmth” of Christ’s countenance driving out the “cold” of the devil.
