I used to feel that Advent crept into my life each December. It seemed like midwinter's darkness would never lift, finals couldn't be over soon enough, and the story of Jesus' birth poked its way into each Sunday one flickering candle at a time. Now, I can't believe we'll soon be halfway through Advent.My great ambition starting out this season was to take on a gospel each week-- reading one gospel per week, that is. Luke, John, Mark, Matthew, and Isaiah to round it out. I just wanted to read the books straight through, re-immerse myself in the stories of Jesus, notice what stood out, and reflect on a few of those things each week.
So now, I'll try to catch up! First up: Gospel of Mark!
