We are only two weeks away from Christmas. I am excited. I had grand plans to start on Advent. Things didn’t go as I wanted them to. I originally wanted to read a chapter of Luke a day for Advent. I have not done it yet. But maybe I will start tonight and read ten chapters and end strong. I also wanted to be praying more. And I am failing.

But hope is not lost. Advent may be half over but we have two weeks left to get it done. Either today or tomorrow I plan on catching up on my bible reading and I am praying more but just not the way I wanted. I am doing more praying like I am just talking to God in my head and thanking him. But I wanted to do more formal rosary like prayers. Last Saturday I had a bunch of fun learning about the bible, in a bible boot camp my local arch diocese puts on. They used the Jeff Cavins bible timeline method. I learned a lot about what happened from the old testament to the new testament. I want to go deeper and learn more but it will have to wait till after Christmas. I am supposed to be reading Luke now. I will finish strongly this year. I will get what I wanted to do this year done. Oh and get my Christmas shopping done.
