I really appreciate your thoughts on this sad aspect of the beloved Christmas story! You're right .. it doesn't get much attention.. yet it's a crushing grief that's part of it. Thank you!

Hi Courtney, I found your Substack via Barbara Rainey today. Coincidentally, you had been on my mind the past few months after my son died unexpectedly in August. I had vaguely remembered you had written a book on the Psalms related to grief and I couldn’t remember your married name! I went to northwestern with you back when you were a Tarter. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for writing this. It explains beautifully the tension I felt throughout this past Christmas season. I look forward to reading more of your work. ❤️
