Let the Advent{ures} Begin

Sometimes the Advent season starts the Sunday after Thanksgiving. After checking the liturgical calendar, I discovered that Advent will not officially start until December 2nd this year.

So I have an extra week to prepare for Advent and so do you.



 
 
In the meantime, I am setting my heart on pilgrimage. 

Our destination is Bethlehem . . . the birth place of Jesus. How will we get there? What will we experience on the way? Who will we become as we journey once again through this sacred narrative?

Come, let's visit this familiar story with open hearts.

  2. Well, Kel, I'm glad I have another week to waint on focusing and being mindful about Advent.. Psalm 84:5 has been a theme in my life for about 5 years (I featured it in a couple of posts this summer--here's one: (http://threewaylight.blogspot.com/2012/07/thirsty-season.html)

    And may I say I am loving your book--reading the pages is like sitting down and having a conversation, getting to know you in a remarkable way....Wonderful!
