Elaine Faithful -- Restlessness amid Abundance -- As we gather today, Hanukkah has just ended and it is the eve of Christmas day. The annual winter holiday frenzy will be near an end--except those poor folks who wait until the last minute to buy your gifts. I don't know how you do it. Like most Americans, I am overwhelmed by an abundance of choices. On this Sunday we will cease all our hustle and bustle long enough to remember how truly abundant our lives really are.
