Like that commercial says, “Life comes at you fast.”
For us Catholics, advent is a time of preparedness. Even some of the Bible readings at Mass center around being prepared for the second coming. Despite these reminders to be vigilant, I have to admit that a number of things are happening, or will soon happen, for which I’m not ready.
- I’m not really ready for it to be winter. Oh, I’m glad we had such a mild autumn, and I know that I (living in Michigan) should be used to the snow. Still...
- I’m not ready to turn 30 (even though that’s almost a year away).
- And of course, I’m not ready for Obama to leave office. Has it already been eight years???? Even if Hillary had won, I’d still shed a tear for the Obamas.
But I’m ready to hear your effing problems.
