No Knowing

Here we are, at the conclusion of this little project. One month with the challenge to spend just five more minutes with God. To make yourself a bit more aware of God’s presence in your life. To acknowledge God’s presence in the world. To challenge yourself to more fully live your faith in the world. To give thanks for all that God has blessed you with.

The journey with Christ does not end today. It is a journey that continues until our dying breath. Like most things, this blog will now transition. With the conclusion of this series and the conclusion of the liturgical year, we are on the eve of Advent. Tomorrow the daily Advent reflections written by a wide spectrum of parishioners will offer you a way to journey through Advent while continuing to take one step closer to God.

J.R.R. Tolkien wrote in The Fellowship of the Ring, “It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.” This is a good reminder for us on our faith lives. We must pay attention to where our feet are and where we are heading. The world is full of that which wants to push us off course. May you mind your feet and walk ever more closely with your God.
