Shortage: Remembering God’s Abundance in a World of Scarcity We are surrounded by shortages. Supply shortages are threatening gift buying. Some folks are facing financial shortages due to job loss or an increase in prices on everyday items. Emotionally, we face shortages of burnout and compassion fatigue leading us to wonder if we're even in the right vocation. During this Advent, journey with Tangled Blue and the South Dakota Synod through the season of "shortages" leading us to remember the hope and abundance that comes through a God made known to us in human form.
