Hi There great to see the poetic used to stir heart mind and spirit, I’d love to use some of this at events we create. We meet with spiritual people at festivals and solstice gatherings here in Guildford UK.
Keep going – so good

Jan, I am so enjoying reading your blogs. One I continue to think about is the concept of approaching another person as an act of reverence because that person, created in the likeness of God is sacred. What a wonderful examples Mary and Elizabeth’s greeting are of that.
I am practicing this sacrement of seeing Christ in each encounter this advent…Thanks

Thanks, Thalia! I wasn’t familiar with Andrew Peterson but just spent some time on his site. Thank you for introducing me to his work.

I wish you and your congregation many blessings (and good music!) as Advent approaches.

Jan, I was checking out your music selections for Advent and Christmas.
Thanks for your choices. I appreciate the non traditional stuff. It gets me in the mood for Advent/Christmas/Epiphany and the planning of services for the congregation I serve.

Have you ever heard of Andrew Peterson? He wrote “Behold the Lamb” several years ago! It’s a favorite of mine. He and his band also have an Easter CD called Resurrection Letters II.

Thanks for your thoughtful blog.

Linda–many thanks! Yes, as an inveterate lover of the book format, I’m aiming to translate The Advent Door into a book. I don’t have a time line for that yet but hope it will be ready before Advent of year A rolls around again (to be followed by Advent Door books for Year B and Year C). Thanks for also suggesting the possibility of making it available to churches to upload; will give that some thought. Thanks again!

Any thought to publishing The Advent Door (images and meditations) as a book? I know–how 20th century. Or perhaps putting it (or a new version for ’08) into some form that churches/individuals could purchase to upload day by day onto their websites or send to their (yes, my) parishoners. I LOVE your images and meditations, and would like to share them with my folks.

It has been a joy traveling through your 25 doors of Advent. Your writing was a continual source of inspiration during my 60th plus Advent journey. Of special inspiration were the doors revealing silence, way making, knocking from the inside, finding a secret room and doing some dreaming with Joseph. My favorites were lectio divina, my favorite kind of prayer, and remembering forward, the thrust of my Advent season this year as I erased the timelines between the Hebrew scriptures and the Christmas story. Your choice of words is also delighful. With gratitude.
