advent is upon us
The waiting begins - to wait on our Savior to appear, for the Dawn from on high to break upon us. It's time to intentionally look, wait, open ourselves to His coming, in whatever way He will come, in us, to us.

This will be, for me, a very odd Advent I think. For so long I have celebrated this Season as a Christian, a catholic Christian, and for the first time in a long time I will be celebrating it as a Catholic Christian. Some of you may want to hear that I am ecstatic at this prospect. You may want to hear that I praise God with great joy for this present reality in my life. Unfortunately, right now, it is bitter-sweet. There is no extra joy because of it. I feel a certain amount of guilt because I do not feel more happy.

Our wreath is set up just like it was last year, and the year before that, and before that. I'm giving this the old college try folks. God give me Grace to do what You want me to do. I wait for You.
