Advent

I'm wanting to celebrate Advent this year. Advent is the beginning of the church calendar year. It is the anticipation of Christ's birth and dwelling with us. From my understanding, it begins four sundays before Christmas Eve, which would be December 2 this year. The first three Sundays it is common to light a purple candle, saving the last pink candle to be lit on the last sunday before Christmas Eve. There are also verses that can be read to aid in focusing our attention of the season to the wonder and amazing gift of Jesus Christ into our world.

I invite any who happens to read this to take part or at least learn more about Advent and other Seasons in the church year.
I've never really celebrated "Christmas" like this, but hope to start and continue to do so in the years to follow.
Something different and exciting and hopefully it will allow me to focus more on Christ instead of buying and receiving material gifts.

apparently im a noob

so i set up the dern blog....then couldnt sign back in for about a week and a half. i think its because i had to use a different password than i normally use and that through me off!! geeze way to be so freakin difficult!!!!

so yeah this is number 2 and its thanksgiving. usually i dont really enjoy thanksgiving. this one was alright. i did like that we didnt have that much family over this year for some reason or another. it was chill and the food was good. eat then lay down. good day.

i hate titles

apparently, thinking of a blog title and blog url was harder than i thought.

so, whenever i try to be clever and witty but it doesnt work out, i always just end up putting something that makes me and a couple other people laugh. that seems to do me just fine.

i have no clue how often i will remember to post or even try to. there will prob be some pointless ones but also some heart-felt ones, so just bare with me. i will try to be completely honest....throw out some ideas, thoughts, concerns, and struggles.


but anyway, thats all for now.

ps. kinda wierd that im speaking to basically no one right now.
