“Prepare the way of the Lord,” John the Baptist comes to say. If Advent is about anything, it is about hope, hope that the God’s way is better than ours.

Keep Awake
As we begin the journey toward Advent, how do we keep awake? The parable of the ten bridesmaids tells us: “Jesus looks for followers who were willing to love God through loving their neighbors. Jesus looks for prepared seekers who are willing to stand sentinel for the coming of the reign of love.”
Advent Wilderness
In Advent we go out to the wilderness, because there, at the edge, there in the hands of wild ones something new can be born.
Advent Disruption
This season of waiting, of hope, of expectation, it’s a time of practice. Our world doesn’t wait well. Advent asks us to practice waiting. Even amidst the tinny holiday music clinically designed to make us buy yet more junk, underneath the disastrous drumbeats of the news, listen. There is another melody playing. There is a counterpoint.
