Today is election day. I enjoy excercising my freedom to vote. What I don't like is the mail in ballets. Honestly, how many people have pencils laying around? If you are not going to school or have children in your home, finding a pencil can be a challenge. I have pens, I have a computer, I have even colored pencils. But your #2 pencil is a bit harder for me to find in my house. I was beginning to think I would have to miss this election. Just hoping I would find one before next election in 4 years. But just as hope almost died. I found a perncil, quite likely from last election.
This year I have a grandson voting for first time. Tis makes me feel very old. Regardless of my weird thinking. I am thankful we still live in a country that gives us the freedom of worship, to vote and bear arms. Don't take this freedom lightly. Pray for wisdom and get out there and vote!

Advent is the period of four Sundays and weeks before Christmas (or sometimes from the 1st December to Christmas Day!). Advent means 'Coming' in Latin. This is the coming of Jesus into the world. Christians use the four Sundays and weeks of Advent to prepare and remember the real meaning of Christmas.
There are three meanings of 'coming' that Christians describe in Advent. The first, and most thought of, happened about 2000 years ago when Jesus came into the world as a baby to live as a man and die for us. The second can happen now as Jesus wants to come into our lives now. And the third will happen in the future when Jesus comes back to the world as King and Judge, not a baby.
