Scripture: John Take home thought:"In this advent season, perhaps more than any other I have experienced, I need to believe this story, that God is just not satisfied to leave us to our own devices. That pointing to Jesus and patterning our lives and our loves after him, is the only life worth living. That God is, even now, working in the shadows to create new ways of healing us."Quote from Rachel Held Evans:“I am a Christian because the story of Jesus is still the story I’m willing to risk being wrong about.”
