waiting.

the theme today is waiting. waiting for the storm to unleash. waiting to get the kids picked up and home safe. waiting to hear from my afternoon appointment to see if we can move things up. waiting to see if school is on or off tomorrow. waiting to see if ed wilson is right and we have an honesty to goodness, good old fashioned iowa march blizzard. waiting to see if the snow will be as super heavy to shovel as last weekend. waiting...waiting...waiting.

how about this: what do we wait for in terms of our faith lives? advent is the season of waiting; lent is about reflection and repentance, maybe waiting to be made perfect on the other side...waiting for all the stuff of earth to fade away in light of something so much more glorious and better...

and so we wait...
