Christmas with the ANGELUS KEY

Why I Wrote Snowfall on Miracles & Ghosts Chaunce Stanton Christmas story from the world of The Angelus Key: Snowfall on Miracles and Ghosts.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved Christmas.

Not the shopping-mall version with frantic parking lots and canned music on repeat, but the quieter Christmas that happens in the margins: late walks in the cold, the way light spills from a window onto the snow, the odd mixture of memory and expectation that hangs in the air on Christmas Eve. It has alway

Chaunce’s Quotes

“You were born into a state of grace. It is impossible for you to leave it. You will die in a state of grace whether or not special words are spoken for you, or water or oil is poured upon your head. You share this blessing with the animals and all other living things. You cannot fall out of grace, nor can it be taken from you. You can ignore it. You can hold beliefs that blind you to its existence. You will still be graced but unable to perceive you own uniqueness and integrity, and blind also to other attributes with which you are automatically gifted.”
― Jane Roberts, The Nature of Personal Reality: Specific, Practical Techniques for Solving Everyday Problems and Enriching the Life You Know
