Thank you for highlighting this, Andre. I plan on writing regularly within a week, staying with each week's theme, as insights come to my mind. I have a new notebook that I plan on using. I plan on starting the 1st week of Advent.
Deacon, I’d like to start reading and journalling based on your advent book. When do you recommend we should start reading it on a daily basis and journal with it? Is it on the first day of Advent or before that?
It reminds of a quote from a book called the Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis. Interestingly it was offered to me by the leader of my group, Wendy Allum, when I was attending the School of Philosophy in Port of Spain in 1995. It goes like this:
“As long as you live, you will be subject to change, whether you will it or not - now glad, now sorrowful; now pleased, now displeased; now devout, now undevout; now vigorous, now slothful; now gloomy, now merry.
But a wise (person) who is well taught in spiritual labor stands unshaken in all such things, and heeds little what he feels, or from what side the wind of instability blows.”

Thanks for this comment, Andre. To stay steadfast in our course across the sea, in our little barque, to the shore of the Kingdom!!
And do you recommend we do it on a daily basis throughout Advent?
