First Sunday Of Advent #Advent #Episcopal

My church, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church observed this first Sunday of Advent this morning with my priest Fr. Quinn celebrating mass. Advent is an observance of awaiting the Christ child in the Christian tradition. A candle is lit every Sunday and on Christmas Eve before Christmas day.

Glass Ceilings

I love seeing women shatter glass ceilings. It is the 21st century but most of those ceilings should have been shattered in the previous century. From politics to sports to entertainment to business to religion, women should take the lead in many things. This man isn’t threatened by the advancements of women, the world needs more representation in all areas of life. Sisters do it for yourselves and for the world.

Leon or Noel

My middle name is Leon and this joke is funny to me because Noel spelled backwards is Leon. You know, like the song, The First Noel.

Being A Lefty

This is a pretty cool description of what a left-handed person is all about.

It’s Black Friday, Happy Bargain Hunting #BlackFriday

Today is traditionally one of the busiest and most profitable days of the holiday retail season. Like Thanksgiving, Black Friday is going to look different. Not as many will be rushing to retailers, but more online buying. However, there are people who will brave the conditions of the day to get those deals. I predict that many will just stay close to home with their computers and credit cards at the ready. No matter what, safety first everyone.

No matter what you are looking for may the odds be ever in your favor. Happy deal hunting. Also just have a great Friday if you aren’t all into this stuff.

Being thankful gives peace and joy.
