Citing of the Week
"Eyes that see problems quickly become expert in seeing problems. Seeing grace first does not diminish the reality of the difficulties in a situation but it does allow us to respond properly."

ADVENT WEEKDAY
Find your bliss
Many people believe God has a special plan just for them—if only they can figure out what it is! From this point of view, discovering what God wants for a person is like a search for a missing key: Find it, and you can get in; don’t, and you’re locked out. Discerning what God may be calling you to, though, may be as simple as seeing where, in the words of campus minister Sally Willitzer in the 2011 issue of VISION magazine, you “can best be an instrument of love in the world,” and that means not only discovering where you can most effectively help others but also what makes you happy.
TODAY’S READINGS: Isaiah 7:10-14; Luke 1:26-38 (196)
“Do not be afraid . . . for you have found favor with God.”

Please no anonymous comments. I require at least some way for people to address each other personally and courteously. Having some name or handle helps.
