In our minds holiness is usually about what we abstain from.

But Jesus saw holiness as what you give yourself to. (Namely, justice, mercy, compassion, love & hospitality.)

In the end, the holiest people are the ones who love well.

Turning 37 tomorrow but I feel like I'm 47. Pandemic, pastoring, and parenting is like a time machine. In the wrong direction.

Christmas isn't just a 1 day thing—it's a season that lasts until Epiphany. The feast continues. In a world of rapidly changing trending topics, we move on too fast to the next thing.

As Rolheiser has said "Our society knows how to anticipate an event but not how to sustain it."

“May we long for the kind of lives that allow us to notice the Incarnation, to stop and see new life and hope, even when it appears in a manger.” @traceygee_me #advent

December 21st. Winter solstice. The darkest day of the year.

Every day of the fall has been getting darker towards today.

But tomorrow?

It starts getting lighter. In tiny tiny increments. But light is coming. It doesn't get any darker than today.

Light is coming.

“The mission of the church is not really the mission of the church but of the Messiah. It is Jesus who started it; Jesus who by the Spirit empowers us to participate in it; and Jesus who will come again in glory to bring His reign to its culmination.” @gpackiam #advent

“Neither escapism nor worry can deliver what they promise. The first doesn’t make reality go away; the other doesn’t truly prepare us.” @RachelGilson #thegospelofadvent

Singleness should never be seen as a stage to get through, but a unique gift intended to be used for God’s glory. @PrestonSprinkle

Many of us have so much loyalty to our circles that we have never stopped to ask: Are we really even seeking truth anymore, or are we just defending what we already believe? -Francis Chan
