Pastor's wives do a tremendous number of things to support their husband's ministry.  Imagine being asked to write a poem related to Sunday's upcoming sermon.  This is what was asked of Cecil Frances Alexander, already a notable poet, and from her pen we have Jesus Calls Us O'er the Tumult.  While this poem was written in 1852, its words beckon us today in the midst of the cacophony of cultural upheaval, social strife, wars, political turmoil, entertainment and social media distraction, and the list goes on.  When we fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, that cacophony subsides and we have the peace that can only come from the Prince of Peace.
