Advent

Yesterday, the first Sunday in Advent, MP spoke about spending more time with God.  Just being quiet, less time with other things, less money on things that do not satisfy.  I am going to shake a stick and try to do it, today anyway.  When I get quiet though I get sleepy.  But for at least an hour on Sunday, after the football game and before going to evening church service.  I did fall asleep for a time during that hour.

Sunday morning after the 9 AM service at Brighton Home one of the ladies said, when asked how she was doing said, "I am just sitting here enjoying it."  Nothing to do.  No agenda.  I think that is what MP was suggesting.  Can I handle that?

At the evening service MF spoke on a similar thing, forgetting lessor things and sticking to the most important thing.  He listed several things that were not as important.  After all it is Advent.  It is to be expected that the sermons will be on waiting on God.

The scriptures spoke a lot of Jesus second coming, he coming back in power.  The earth will change. The gospel said, when you see those days are near, straighten up you back.  Be in anticipation.  Be proud, your vindication is near!

So as MF emphasized, be on the alert, do not think about less important things.  Be eager for the most important.
