Advent reflections

My blogfather, Doug Floyd, has begun an Advent series that's worth a look. Here's a sample from his opening reflections:

In pause of Advent, I am reminded that I do not verify the truth, it verifies me. I do not defend the truth, it defends me. I cannot grasp the truth--for long before I even knew the truth, I was grasped and held in the hands of the One who is and always has been truth.

Amen. Blog on, Doug.
