Life in this world is always a mixture of satisfactions and disappointments. This is not only true of life in general. This is also true of our lives. One way to say it is to say that In this world, our lives are a mixture of faith and foolishness.

Today we finish up our Advent series on the life of Mary, Jesus’ mother. We are going to look at a series of events in the life of Mary that forced her to relate to Jesus differently. Instead of being His mother, Mary had to learn how to be His disciple. She had to lay aside the normal expectations of a mother and adopt the unqualified surrender of a disciple.

Thanks to all of you who listen to our weekly ramblings. Due to my voice leaving for vacation early we will not have an episode of Faith Café this week. The next one will likely appear on January 4th or the 11th. Depending on how quickly we recover form the holidays!
Blessings, Chris
This Advent season we’ve been teaching on the life of Jesus’ mother, Mary, the person who was closer to the first Christmas than anybody else. So far we’ve seen her response to God before the birth of her Child. She responded with faith when the angel told her she would bear a child who would be the Savior of the world. And she responded with a Song (which we call the Magnificat) that gave us an amazing vision of the Kingdom in which her son would reign.
