Sometimes things don't play out the way they are planned. The authors/planners just don't think things through. That is what happened with today's Advent offering. I had just finished reading the second chapter of Luke -- the gift from yesterday -- and today's thought is from Luke 3. Now really, what is with that anyway? I was annoyed. VERY annoyed.Putting that aside, the question is how I will get ready for Jesus. Well folks, I think I am about as ready as I'm going to get. I am pretty transparent. The Collect for Purity has been my watchword for a very long time. "Unto you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid." How much more open to God can I be? I think that being genuine to self and to the public is ready.
