Advent: The Path to Peace

Just a few minutes ago, Kim and I quartered an orange and set it to boil in a pot with cloves, a cinnamon stick, and some cranberries. After we let it boil for a few minutes, we turned the heat down and let the mix simmer for a few more minutes. Now, our house smells like Christmas!

Advent season is my favorite time of the year. It marks the beginning of the church calendar, and in many ways, it also provides a new start for me in my own journey with Jesus Christ.

I get really reflective this...
