Afterwards, I joined the US Navy, serving fifteen years. Currently I live in to Ohio. I never conceived of becoming an author, but when I started this study I wrote things down to consolidate my thoughts. I shared some of my essays with others. They said they liked what I’d written—it made them think. This encouraged me to compile my essays into a single volume.
My journey of curiosity and study began over thirty years ago. While it might not be the usual route taken to faith, it prepared me to study and question. So when my curiosity and interest turned to Advent, it was a continuation on the path that God seems to have placed me on.
I looked at the meaning of the word “advent” and thought of what it is expressed. I found there were four words that epitomized the characteristics of Advent: hope, gladness, promise, and love. It struck me that two were our proper responses to two of God’s characteristics. The essays in each of these seasons are explorations of how each is expressed in our lives.vizualizați mai puține
