Okay, I've been feeling kind of uninspired to write on the blog lately, but I'm going to write today because this is a discipline and sometimes you just need to engage in it even when you don't feel like it.
This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. So I went to Grandpa Kevin's Discount Christmas Tree Lot today to buy garland for my Advent wreath at church. I really like what I do with the worship space at Advent. But I've been doing the same thing for probably 4 years now and so it is pretty easy to set. I hang 4 panels of fabric, 3 purple and 1 pink, around the circle we sit in and then I hand the advent wreath from the ceiling--four lanterns hold four candles and then are suspended from the garland that I attach to a ring. I think it is really nice. But I'm thinking maybe next year I should try something different. But that is next year. This year I'm ready. Although, seriously my sermon not even close to ready. I lost a day of work this week because I was flying home on Tuesday. I intended to take some sermon prep stuff with me but I didn't. So I'm a little behind. I'm sure something will come but it aint there yet.
I saw a movie this afternoon--you are probably saying I don't have much sympathy for you being behind in your sermon if you went and saw a movie this afternoon. But I have read all that I will read this week so now all that I have read is just floating around in my head, cooking if you will. So that can happen at a movie. Anyway, I saw Enchanted. It was okay. But the best part is that there is singing and dancing. I'd say though, it is probably a rental.
So I think that is it for today.
Until tomorrow.
Peace out!

I used to get my tree at Grandpa Kevin's but then they moved it and I couldn't find it....then I moved. This year John and I took the church van out to the mountians and cut a fresh tree. Saved a few bucks on the three but it cost the church $40 in gas. What Would Jesus Do? Probably gone without a tree and had a smaller carbon footprint. Just one more thing to ask him when I get to heaven. How was you're family? Missed you at Thanksgiving!
