Jerusalem Sabbatical

I originally created my blog to post my reflections on my sabbatical experience in Jerusalem in 2006. I have also used it to post my thoughts and ideas about being a church for the next generation. Now I hope to use it to blog about my third time in Israel, volunteering with Bridges for Peace!

IT'S ADVENT!


I hope you are having a quiet, reflective, meaning-filled Advent season as we move toward the celebration of Christ's birth once again this Christmas...

When in reality you are probably running here and there, attending services and concerts and special presentations, going to parties and shopping and baking and writing Christmas cards and...on and on and on.

I thought that, after "A Living Nativity," I would have time to post a new blog, but it hasn't worked out--sorry! I have a good one coming up too; it has to do with prayer. So since the first week of January is "Prayer Week" in the Covenant, I think I'll just wait until then to share my thoughts with you. Can you wait that long?

And in the meantime, I'm making Heavenly Hot Fudge and English toffee and pepper nuts and dipping pretzels and baking loaf after loaf of Swedish cardamom bread and trying to finish my annual Christmas epistle--

And looking forward to next Monday, when I will celebrate my 3000th time at "Fit 'n Free" aerobics! If you're in the area, come to the party at about 9:30 a.m. Or better yet, come and work out with us at 8:15. There's no better way to work off those extra holiday calories!

Merry Christmas everyone.
