Advent 2023 Third Sunday: Everlasting Father

My Advent ponderings this year are inspired by my recent study of Isaiah and one of the most beloved descriptions of the character of the Messiah. The first Sunday, I ponderedย WONDERFUL COUNSELOR. Next MIGHTY GOD on the second Sunday. Isaiah then describes the one-with-the-government-on-his-shoulders as the EVERLASTING FATHER.

Word of the Year 2022

Goodbyes said to guests. Linens washed. Christmas decorations taken down and stored. Fridge restocked. Time to organize myself and my new year. Set up a planner. Select a journal. Reflect on the previous year and the new one. And choose a word for the year.

Advent: Immanuel, King, Shepherd, Son, Savior

This Advent season, I focused on the descriptors of Jesus found in Matthewโ€™s account of the Christmas events.
