Journey Into the Light - An Invitation

        We are all longing for light. The darkness around us seems to only grow deeper, the shadows longer. We don't want sentimentality that rings hollow, and we don't have the strength to pretend that everything is the same as it once was. Nothing seems familiar in a way, though there is an appearance of it on the surface of things. Instinctively we know that even we ourselves have changed. As we enter a season built around traditions, all of which are shifting and changing no less than we are, we need now more than ever to enter into the stillness of the One whose light extinguishes all shadows and darkness. This Advent, let's journey together into the light and rest in the stillness of the One who never changes.
