There is no shortage of ways to find Advent, in liturgy and music, in prayer and silence, in fellowship and practice. And this year we have only eight more days to get there. So hurry up, and Wait.
It’s really about our counterfeit lives, the ways we choose violence over love, our unrealistic expectations. We can let those things fall to the floor. It’s safe to let them be burned. What remains is the full human you were created to be.
Don’t be swept up in the traumatic events of the day. Live an examined life; get a grip on your purpose; compare it to your practice; correct your ways; comply with those of the Lord.
