Light- Day 15 of Advent

During Advent this year, I am reflecting daily using this Advent Photo Devotional. The word designated for today, December 13th is #Light.  When I think of light, there is one passage that I go to before any other. It is the gospel passage appointed for Christmas Day every year, found in the beginning to the Gospel of John. Within this passage, it is written: “In … Continue reading Light- Day 15 of Advent

Story- Day 5 of Advent

The word designated for December 3rd was #Story.  Last night it hit me, my wife and I have a lot of stories already.

During Advent this year, I will be reflecting daily using this Advent Photo Devotional. The word designated for today is #Glory.  When I think of “Glory” and Advent and Christmas, I usually think of the angels and their witness, such as the refrain “Gloria inexcelsis deo.” However, that’s not what I have on my mind today. Instead, I am confronted again by the senselessness of … Continue reading Glory- Day 4 of Advent

Royal- Day 2 of Advent

During Advent this year, I will be reflecting daily using this Advent Photo Devotional. The word designated for today is #Royal.  One of my favorite Advent hymns is “Prepare the Royal Highway,” by Frans Mikael Franzen. The text is so beautiful and does a beautiful joy with its Swedish folk tune melody to capture the excitement of the season that accompanies the waiting, wondering, and … Continue reading Royal- Day 2 of Advent

Cups, Refugees, and Neighbor Love in Action

I haven’t been blogging as much as I like to lately. I think that might mean that my plate might actually be full? Well, none the less, I need to be blogging more. There has been so much to digest and confront lately. To begin this post, consider this take from another person who sums up my thoughts better than I could, and as the … Continue reading Cups, Refugees, and Neighbor Love in Action
