Well, sort of recent publications! Sorry for being so tardy, but I thought I should at least make sure they were linked here, at the blog-of-record.
This past December, I was delighted to get to write about Advent both at For the Church and at The Advent Project.
At For the Church, I wrote an article called "Advent: Two Kinds of Waiting at Once." Here's a snippet:

One of her best. This one actually managed to make me cry, twice. I think she put more of herself into this one than she did most of them. So good. (I mean, it is still just a simple, old-school romance. But there are so many good *real* things in it: ...more |

“There is another, better source of comfort: the Comforter Himself. Com-fort; it means “with strength.” The Holy Spirit is the One who strengthens you, when you turn and ask to be filled with Him, rather than letting yourself filled with the weak and beggarly substitutes offered by the world, the flesh, and the devil. You can gorge yourself on those substitutes, but it is like eating disease and drinking damage: they will leave your body wracked and ruined and starving.
God offers real food and real drink: bread that actually satisfies, wine that actually strengthens.
The Holy Spirit, our Comforter, is like the wind, and goes where He wills. “Who has seen the wind?” asks Rossetti, “Neither you nor I.” But you know when the wind has passed by—and if you have known any of the Lord’s saints, you have seen the wind-carved, Spirit-carved beauty of their lives; you have seen the light in their eyes that reflects back the bright glory of a place that needs no created light, because the Lord is its sun and its stay.”

“The greatest issue facing the world today, with all its heartbreaking needs, is whether those who, by profession or culture, are identified as ‘Christians’ will become disciples – students, apprentices, practitioners – of Jesus Christ, steadily learning from him how to live the life of the Kingdom of the Heavens into every corner of human existence.”

“To subdue one's self to one's own ends might be dangerous, but to subdue one's self to other people's ends was dust and ashes. Yet there were those, still more unhappy, who envied even the ashy saltness of those dead sea apples.”

“But suppose one doesn't quite know which one wants to put first. Suppose," said Harriet, falling back on words which were not her own, "suppose one is cursed with both a heart and a brain?"
"You can usually tell," said Miss de Vine, "by seeing what kind of mistakes you make. I'm quite sure that one never makes fundamental mistakes about the thing one really wants to do. Fundamental mistakes arise out of lack of genuine interest. In my opinion, that is.”

“Do you find it easy to get drunk on words?"
"So easy that, to tell you the truth, I am seldom perfectly sober.”
