Happy New Year!

Yes, I do mean my title. No, I realize that it is not January 1st, but today is the beginning of the season of Advent, and, therefore, the beginning of a new church year. I know that it has been awhile since I have updated, but I thought the beginning of a new church year would be a great time to do so. I was hoping that at some point life would calm down a little, but, that simply isn't the case. While I would love to say that when my Master's degree is over in June I will have some time again, but, everytime I say that, something else happens. However, it is time for me to write again. And, frankly, I've been so busy that I don't even know where to start. So, instead of writing a bunch about myself, I would like to use this entry as a tribute to C.S. Lewis.
Those of you who know me know that I am a little obsessed. I participate in a Lewis forum (even when it closed and moved to Facebook), and I am a proud member of the 2467317 Club. (If you don't know what that is, I'll leave it to you to figure out. Here's a clue - it deals with the Chronicles of Narnia.) Lewis has so many fantastic quotes, but here is one of my favorites from Mere Christianity (and is an appropriate one for the Advent season):

"Enemy-occupied territory - that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful kind has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage."

Happy Advent!
