Second Sunday in Advent

Today's Gospel was the story of John the Baptist -- "prepare the way of the Lord."

This is a time of preparation--everyone is busy preparing for Christmas, I am preparing for my trip. Sometimes we are so busy preparing, and other times we get grumpy or discouraged. It's easy to lose sight of what Christmas is all about--the stores and radio stations downplay the true meaning of Christmas. One remedy is to listen to some sacred music -- a performanc of the "Messiah" or perhaps a Christmas cantata.
