Advent, week 2: Lit the Peace candle tonight. Breathing in trust, breathing out worry. Will 2025 be a a more peace-filled year? I know that’s what so many are praying for. 🙏🏾

So today is St Nicholas Day (der Nikolaus-Tag) and I wake up to chocolate in my boots, which will end up with R, because kidney problems. Um, thank you? Maybe next year I ask for Audible credits.

“If you want to have the best Christmas you’ve ever had, lean into Advent.” Peri Zahnd. My ambitions for this year aren’t quite so lofty, but I appreciate the sentiment. What I do want is meaning. What I want is Emmanuel.

Ok, now Barbara Brown Taylor. "It is sometimes hard to tell whether you are being killed or saved by the hands that turn your life upside down.” You can always tell when people have gone through things.
