This year's Wise Men's Quest is ...Roberta, <br />This year's Wise Men's Quest is some of the best stuff you've ever done! I know there were powerful reasons for delaying their story until now, but how wonderful to focus on their Advent when ours is just past and the Days of Christmas winding down. I find the concept of Permanent Advent very moving and very sad. How unfulfilling to wait, in expectation, on and on and on, without ever finding God With Us. Yet, if your Wise Men, or other Zoroastrian astrologers, or other Magi, or anybody, had shown up not many days later, they'd have found the stable empty of all but animals. <br /><br />The Son of Man, God With Us, does not stand still, does not just stay in one place. He is always on the move, as was the case when he was physically living on the earth. Part of His unending journey is to walk with each one of us, wherever we are, but to ask us to keep moving ahead, to keep on the journey. I am very much with your Wise Men - they want to get moving! <br /><br />And you, my friend, have moved so far this past year! May 2012's journey be a kinder one, a gentler one, a walk full of joy!<br /><br />Love, BradBradnoreply@blogger.com
