Operation Just Cause
...for as long as it takes


My Christmas Wish
by Karl Kristiansen

I would wish for Peace, not the Peace most of us think of when we hear that word, but "Inner Peace". To a lot of us this is a very elusive dream. We all seem to be living in a pressure cooker of one type or another. To some of us it is the specter of battles past and to others it is the everyday challenge of the "rat race" and to some, getting from one day to the next, one hour to the next, can be a challenge of monumental proportions.

For those of us lucky enough to have a strong family life, the search for inner peace can be easier to find, while for some, it is the cause of inner turmoil. Some look to God, some to drink, some to drugs, some to money, some to power, you fill in the blank.

That is why this "Inner Peace" is the most important thing I would wish for all. For without it, I think the road ahead may be very tough for a lot of people.
