The season of Advent begins today. The word advent means “to arrive” in a notable or surprising way (Oxford Dictionary). Hence, it serves as the root of our word “adventure,” which implies daring, the unknown. In short: An experience that can change a person forever. If they let it.

“He is not safe, but he is good.”

~C. S. Lewis

    Simple words and so uplifting. Thank you for putting the focus on Jesus and not the buy extravaganza that has become Christmas.
