Healing was not the invitation I was expecting when I showed up at church several weeks ago. 

Choosing is in the air. At the beginning of the year, the marketers are competing for our money, and gyms and diet programs are poised to pounce on the good intentions that follow Christmas feasts. 

Dwelling is a strange concept. It’s a place and it sounds like an action: the relevance to Advent is both. 

I have found God inescapable for most of my life. Even when I try to run away, there He is.
