It's here! It has been marching your way all year. There's nothing you can do to stop it. It is one week before the end of the year. (My calendar runs out a week later, which, according to our culture's logic, means the world will end even before 2012.) The Biblically dubious season of Advent and Christmas, upon arrival, will do everything possible to chew through December and disappear into 2010. You've got to capture it in a Havahart trap. Who cares if it's more secular than sacred in origins. (I'll explain all this in future postings.) Jesus owns it now and most of us have seen Him use this season to draw hundreds of millions of people all around the world closer to Him. May He do just this with each of us and our families. May he slow down all that typically races by. May we remember the worship services, songs, laughter of children, food, and the things we did for others that blessed them deeply.
