With having the launch celebration for my new book a couple of nights ago, and all the preparations that went into that splendid evening, I have not quite finished my first post for Advent 3 (December 12). I’m aiming to publish it tomorrow. In the meantime, though, I would be pleased for you to spiral back around and visit my earlier images and reflections on the readings for the coming Sunday, from my first year of doing The Advent Door, three years ago. You can click on the images or the post titles to find your way.
Now that the book celebration is past, and I’m home for a few weeks, I look forward to posting more frequently here. Not daily, as I did during that first year at The Advent Door! But I invite you to swing back by in the near future to take a breath and savor a few quiet moments in this season that is often so frantic. Know that I’m holding you in prayer in these Advent days.
Blessings to you.
Isaiah 35:1-10: Door 10: Hitting the Highway
Luke 1:47-55 (alternate reading/United Methodist reading): Door 11: In Which We Get to Sing
Matthew 11:2-11: Door 16: The News in Prison
James 5:7-10: Door 15: Another Name for Patience
An Illuminated Joy

Nice surprise to see this post, so soon after the launching of your newest book [great evening by the way]: it is always worth looking back and reading again ~ part of the beauty of the Advent season, I suppose, and for those who flesh it out with words of their own.

Thank you, Carolyn! It was so good to have you and your sweetheart at the celebration—thanks so much for sharing in the evening. And for stopping by here! Blessings to you, and may you flesh out some good words of your own in these days.
