OK! OK! So my last blog was on November 10. After doing one for 40 days during the Campaign, I guess I was enjoying the break. Besides, I think I only got two comments during that entire time. (I wasn't sure if anyone was actually reading it!)
But now, it's time to get back to it. Enough people are inquiring (or at least pointing out that the last blog was three weeks ago!) So, my commitment is to update my blog about twice a week. Most of the time it will be me but other times I'll pass it over to others on the staff to chime in.
We reviewed the hectice church schedule in December at Staff Meeting today with some noticable groans throughout the group. This year I want to work on being in the moment. It would be easy to go through the motions from one party, one gathering, one concert, one performance after another with a pasted on smiley face (come on, you've caught yourself doing the same!) But the reality is that each time there are new people and new stories that deserve to be experienced fresh. I want to be in the moment this year.
Because I want God to be in the moment.
I bet my daily prayers get pretty dull and routine to God. But I would never want God to go through the motions and simply placate me. I need God to be in the moment for me. And if we all are striving to become more Christlike, we can start this season in the midst of the busy schedule to be in the moment for all those we meet at the parties and performances.
Be in the moment. Will you join me this Advent with the same promise?

I don't know how you do all the things that you do...and I know this blog is "one more thing", but thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts. They carry more meaning than you probably realize.
