Advent

I'm excited for the Christmas season, even though most people have already been celebrating their Christmas season. Almost all of the Christmas parties are before Christmas. They're really Advent parties. There's even time after the kids return to school to have actual Christmas parties (if they don't already call them holiday parties). Not that a post like this is going to change any of this, but perhaps it will make an internal change in a reader or two, if only to encourage them that they aren't the only ones who feel that way.

Facebook

A while back, I took an indefinite hiatus from Farmville because I felt it was taking time away from family and work. Now I am starting to feel the same way about Facebook. I am looking for more and more quiet time for reflection and things like Facebook become a distraction (with Facebook being the greatest time consumer for me). So I am going to take an indefinite hiatus from Facebook as well. The last time I logged in was last week, and I had been logging in once a week. From my blog, I can still post to Facebook without getting sucked into surfing updates or chats. Therefore, this week I guess I resume my blog technically. I had missed it in some ways, although not everyday. Perhaps, I'll post once a week from now on, especially since I know some people have been checking in periodically looking for new posts. No matter what, I'll keep praying for you and your needs (whether I know you or your needs) and I trust many of you will keep me and my personal intentions in your prayers because I feel I am getting into challenges at work where I will need more grace than I currently have.
