I have never really liked Christmas very much. It's always been easy to blame that dislike on commercialism--but I'm not happy with easy explanations anymore. I've lost friends with my flippant response to the holiday (yes, really!), so I'm going to explore it deeply this year. I'm going to try to walk a holy advent, and I'd love some companions on the journey. Read and pray and contemplate with me--and when I'm wrong, stay around and help me figure out why!
Disclaimer: I'm not a theologian. I'm not going to provide a scholarly exegesis of the texts. I'm just a girl trying to not be a grinch and hang out with this Jesus guy a little more.
I would be honored to join you as a fellow sojourner on your journey through a holy Advent.
