I enjoy this time of year…the temperature is slowly dropping; the leaves begin to change their color; I can open the windows for fresh air in the house; and I start to look toward the Advent season. There is something about the anticipation of the Savior that quickens the mind and renews our hope. It’s not that we ever lose hope, but lets face it, with the economic news of lately, the propaganda of the election year, gasoline prices, the ongoing wars, and add to those any personal tragedies we are forced to endure, we are at the very least distracted from the hope we have in Christ Jesus. Even the most devout fight these distractions! For that reason I welcome Advent, in fact, this may have been a good year to celebrate “Christmas in July” (wish I had thought of it)! As believers in Christ Jesus, we have a hope that can endure any situation…and we need to remember that! Regardless of the turmoil we face, as an individual or as a member of the human race, God still sits on the throne and not once has he uttered the words, “How did that happen?”
