As we transition from Thanksgiving, into Advent, and on toward Christmas, I thought that it would be nice to give some thanks, speak of hope, and talk of joy.

Our job is to ‘have time for God’
Editor’s note: The following column is taken from bishop’s homily of the first Sunday of Advent, Nov. 30, 2008.
We say to the Lord, at the beginning of this Advent, “Come Lord Jesus; do not delay! Stir up your power Lord and come to save us. Do not delay!” And when we pray that powerful prayer, we believe that it will be answered.

That return of the Lord is probably going to be delayed . . . at least we think so . . .
