O Come, O Come Emmanuel

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation.

Anticipation

 Ever since I chose the theme for the Header Challenge this week my brain has been singing this song.  ‘Cept that it changes it up to the lyrics that my childhood and young adult brain could handle, no matter how many times I was corrected or realized that it didn’t go.  Because I wanted to sing, … Continue reading »

Well There You Have It

Advent Endings I

As the candles all grow shorter, it is Christ that I wait for. Hold my breath for. Crave. Christmas, a bright light at a dark time, illuminating the Christ, our bright guiding light in a dark life, in a dark world.

Second Sunday of Advent

This morning I woke up late, I don’t even remember hearing the radio program Dirt and I listen to on Sunday mornings. My head was pounding, I couldn’t move it and the dull rainy morning light felt like a ice pick in my head, so much for the drugs Dirt picked up for me to … Continue reading »
