Yuletide Hearts
“And from the steady stream of cars rounding the circle and pulling into backyard parking lots, Jamison folk weren’t about to be deterred by the seasonal drizzle.

Soldiers didn’t need a church for prayer, but Matt wouldn’t confuse Jake by staying home on a Sunday morning. He also wasn’t about to go to Good Shepherd with the Mareks, not when so many people from his past were members.
He wasn’t after confrontation, just peace and quiet. Solace.
