Preparation

...and what does the
Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love
kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?

This is it--my favorite Bible verse in the world. And I'm putting it here to remind me what this is all about because it's the third Sunday of Advent and I'm losing perspective. Life is speeding up and things are getting crazy. It's a good crazy, really. The tree finally goes up today, and there are potlucks and company and seeing friends. The Christmas pageant at church today, the big Christmas party next weekend. Shopping is coming along, we're putting Christmas movies in the player, all the goodies of the season are happening. But I just need to remember what's underneath it all.
