<p class="text">My family and friends keep asking me what I want for Christmas. My honest answer is that I don't want anything for Christmas. They keep poking at me, saying surely there is something I want, but no, I tell them, there is nothing I want or need for Christmas.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">Here's a hard truth of life and I'm probably going to be the only one who will tell you. You spend the first half of your life accumulating stuff and you spend the second half of your life taking all that stuff to Goodwill.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">I'm 65 years old and frankly, I don't need any more trips to Goodwill.</p>

<p class="text">Right now, I'm learning to read e-books. I hate e-books. You can't argue with the author. You can't write notes in the margins or scratch out entire paragraphs that don't make sense. I don't read a book. I devour it and I don't leave much left when I'm through. You can't do that with an e-book. Sure, you can make notes, but you can't tell from the highlights on the e-text how intensely you agreed or disagreed with the author.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">But here's what I'm dealing with. I'm 65 and while I haven't thought about retiring, everyone keeps asking when I'm going to retire. My wife has put it more succinctly: “Where are you going to put all of your books when you retire? You don't think you're going to bring all of those books into this house, do you?”</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">I'd love to get books for Christmas, but where would I put them?</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">And I have enough ties. I have fat ties, skinny ties, striped ties, and paisley ties. I have ties for every occasion. Since the pandemic, we're not wearing ties anymore. So, now I have enough ties to last me a lifetime.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">I don't need anything.</p>

<p class="text">So, let me tell you what I want.</p>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I just installed Arch and Cinnamon DE on a Virtual Box. My notebook has an Intel graphic card. After logged in through LightDM, a message appears.

<p class="text">Advent in Contested Territory: God with us</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">By <a href="https://heatherhartwrites.com/" target="_blank" class="">Heather L. Hart</a></p>
|
||||
<p class="text">Only distance could save us.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">A tiny, nonliving entity, with the power to kill, invaded bodies and sent us fleeing. Safety was separation, community was danger. Quarantine defined life. It was necessary to detach so we might live. All was beyond our control. Where was God in our death, isolation, division, and fear</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">Christians enter the season of Advent knowing that Jesus, the God-Human, came to rescue the world. A world overrun by inescapable darkness: God’s good creation was the occupied territory of Sin and Death. The people of God longed for God’s promised intervention. Hope for liberation persisted.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">Jesus is God’s deliverance: the rescuing Savior, the chosen Messiah, the ruling Lord.<a href="#_ftn1" target="_blank" class="">[1]</a> His purpose was to <em>“bring good news to the poor… proclaim release to the captives and sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”<a href="#_ftn2" target="_blank" class=""><strong>[2]</strong></a></em> The inescapable darkness became more than merely escapable. The reigning control of Sin and Death was utterly severed by Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">And yet.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">And yet, we are overrun by a pandemic. We are overrun by violence, scarcity, bigotry, lies – we are even overrun by our own selves. Our wants, desires, ways of thinking and living, continually spiral away from God.<a href="#_ftn3" target="_blank" class="">[3]</a> The darkness is very real, very near.</p>
|
||||
<p class="text">Advent looks at Jesus’ arrival and sees the approaching liberation from Sin and Death. Advent aches for Christmas because Easter is breathtaking. Advent represents the longing for God’s intervention 2000 years ago, but it also represents our longing for ...</p><p class="more"><a href="https://www.christianitytoday.com/scot-mcknight/2021/december/advent-in-contested-territory-god-with-us.html">Continue reading</a>...</p>
