A few days before Thanksgiving, my husband reached for the radio dial and put on a station playing Christmas music. I have precious Christmas memories rooted in music. Over the years, Christmas music has warmed our hearts and strengthened our faith, yet it also can challenge our thinking and behavior. In 1984, in response to a terrible famine occurring in Ethiopia, Bob Geldof and Midge Ure collaborated on a song for Christmas, "Do They Know It’s Christmas?" The needs of the world outside our window are overwhelming.
