Ready or Not, He’s Coming!
Ready for Advent?
I wasn’t really ready for Advent this year.

But ready or not, yesterday was the 1st Sunday in Advent, the four weeks of spiritual preparation for the celebration of the coming of Christ.
Just in time, I received an

"Wow - this book took me a long time to read, not because it's lengthy, but because there is SO much to chew on, especially as a white Christian in these days and times. If you are new to the whole "doing the work" part of racial reconciliation, you m"

“the praying made any difference. I heard about a congregation of teetotaling Methodists who prayed for years that the Lord would do something about the disreputable bar across the street from the church. One night the bar was hit by lightning and burned to the ground. The bar owner promptly sued the church, saying that the congregation’s prayers were responsible for the fire.
