They are double wired, so on Christmas Eve they will be white. :)--helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18284019616559905428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-14446583321046914692011-11-28T08:07:50.837-06:002011-11-28T08:07:50.837-06:00What?

During my past 12 years as a Lutheran, Advent has become one of my favorite seasons. <br /><br />Your wise counsel to "clear the clutter - make some space in your life during these days of preparation for the Holy Spirit to do His joyful work through the Word and the Sacrament" is certainly increasingly counter-cultural. <br /><br />As you know, not only before Christmas but also prior to Advent this year, our culture's "holiday" resulted in pepper spraying, shootings, riots, mayhem amidst the beep, beep, beeping of the checkout lines. <br /><br />Thanks for your wise teaching here.<br /><br />Blessings.Rob Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00043965853630628011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-44437315890367780112011-11-27T11:10:36.199-06:002011-11-27T11:10:36.199-06:00What a wonderful perspective for all of us as we e...What a wonderful perspective for all of us as we enter Holy Advent -- whether we fast or not.

I'm frankly just happy you are fasting, and I have my own issues with keeping my own fast properly, so it wouldn't do for me to be worrying about your plate when my own is overfilled.David Garnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868519827605827991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-63740916402640693222011-11-26T15:41:37.669-06:002011-11-26T15:41:37.669-06:00Thank you; nicely written.Thank you; nicely written.tehazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490297386019997076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-75079860607860627962011-11-26T12:11:22.234-06:002011-11-26T12:11:22.234-06:00That should be a standard disclaimer you have on a...That should be a standard disclaimer you have on all your posts. :)Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501327753737422337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-28639932786764429882011-11-26T12:02:14.702-06:002011-11-26T12:02:14.702-06:00Well said.

One of our favorite things to do during Advent is to pick charities or even people in need we might know of and give them equivalents of meals we've abstained/fasted. It's been such a blessing to do that over the years.Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09337019503451500138noreply@blogger.com
