Gene reminded me from his Facebook page that we have started a new liturgical calendar.  I feel as if I have just concluded the previous year limping and begging to be placed on injured reserve… How ’bout you?

This is as good a day as any to refocus in our our own spiritual health.  My home office, in an evangelization effort, is encouraging me to Embrace the Divine Within.  Seems like a starting point.

I seek to be more consistent in my spiritual life, finding a home church and being a less vagabondish stranger in the back pew. I seek to be more poetic and inspirational in my verbal communication and e-mails and less utilitarian. I seek God time and me time.

Advent and December bring the gift of family time, conference time with friends, desk time, beach time, and, frankly, breathing time. May God grant me (and all of us) the grace enough to take full advantage of it!
