Officially "Advil" Season

Some child (I think it was at St. John's) when asked if he/she knew what season it was replied, "Advil" season. Probably true!

But my "Advent" season was kicked off this week in fine fashion. Some great Advent hymns and message on Sunday and Wednesday night, and a beautiful "Advent by Candlelight" last night. I sat at a beautiful table hosted by Heidi, worshipped in a beautiful sanctuary filled with candles, and heard beautiful music provided by "Arborsong" of Concordia. It was truly a lovely evening!

My "Advil" season has also been started with a doozy of a cold and not much voice--this will be tricky for our first Christmas program practice and Praise Team practice tomorrow morning.

My heart feels prepared for the reason for the season--but my home--not so much, yet. Perhaps this weekend I'll get some decorating done.

Merry "Advent" everyone!
