The Schmitts were once again in Troy, NY, to be part of a traditional big-family Christmas celebration with my wife Eileen’s siblings and the extended family. St. Augustine Parish has been a spiritual home to Eileen’s family for generations, and I love the welcoming that all three Schmitts receive. It was only proper for us three travelers to gather by the church’s creche scene to do some welcoming of our own, with words of thanks for safe travels and, more importantly, a Savior. With faith and family providing a focus that renews us every year , We Three Schmitts are never disOriented. Oops, another OnWord pun.
