Don’t forget that there is another Advent Synchroblog next week. Please begin thinking now about what you want to write for it! These Synchroblogs are great ways for people to discover your blog.
Here is the description of what to write on:
Christmas Day has come and gone, even the after Christmas sales far more exciting for some than the birth of Christ, are behind us. But did any of us really get what we expected? This long anticipated season celebrating the birth of Christ our Saviour, often comes with unexpected consequences. The gifts never quite meet everyone’s expectations and leave behind mountains of wrapping paper and ribbon that will add yet more indestructible rubbish to the landfills. And Jesus doesn’t always give us what we expect either. We welcome him as a cute little baby but if we continue to journey with him, we soon realize that he wants to turn our world upside down. A child born in a stable is much easier to cope with than a revolutionary leader. This month’s synchroblog is centered around the unexpected consequences of our journey with Jesus. Where has it led us that we never anticipated? In what ways has it really turned our world upside down?
Coming down from Christmas always leaves us in a little bit of a fugue state. Let us know your thoughts and perspectives on this with links to your blog in the comment section at the Synchroblog blog. Please get them in by 7 pm (EST) on Tuesday, December 27, 2011.
As always, the breadth and depth of perspective here will be one more gift for all of us to open.
I plan on participating again. How about you?
hmmm.. I might join in this time
