Day 324 and a little taste of how I hope to finish the year!

Day 324 and yes ........I have miserably failed at doing this daily as I hoped I would do back in January ...like 324 days ago!

So, here's what I'm thinking. Starting December 5 I preach a Christmas series called It's Not Your Birthday DUH! Great title eh!!!

For the days of advent I will try and blog a daily blog that explores aspects of the incarnation.

Here's a taste:

"When Jesus was born, Mary, Joseph, and a handful of others knew that this child was the hope for Israel and the world. Against common sense and ruthless opposition they trusted God's leading and protection with that hope in mind. Just as Jesus grew in knowledge and wisdom, he must have grown in hope. From the cradle he learned to hope that crying would bring his mother to feed him and that his neediness would cause Joseph to protect and provide for him. For hope is that deep assurance that more is yet to come, in physical growth and sustenance, in knowledge and wisdom, and in love."

See you in a few days.
