Not fully recovered from yesterday’s illness, I spent the day fishing for Advent resources. And it occurred to me that we might start an Advent blog — poetry, photographs, short reflections either of your own, or by others. If seven people were willing to take part, we would each have to offer only four things.
I thought about approaching seven priests (and bishops).
I thought about approaching seven members of the congregations. And then I thought about asking you.
Are there 6 of you out there, willing to join in? Please respond in comments.
If it works, we could repeat it at Lent. If there are more than six interested, even better.
wonderful exchange 
An act of faith:
I have registered two new blogs.
love blooms bright for Advent, and beauty from chaos for Lent.
You know I have a severe case of Adventitis…
What sort of stuff are you looking for?
🙂
Sorry – I’ve just looked. It explains. And it looks so lovely!
That means you looked once I stopped fiddling. Lent site is OK now too.
I dare say you would have much to contribute Chris. Can I count you in?
It looks lovely, but does go some way to proving my original point.
Colonials. Candles. Colours.
It is propoganda.
Yes, you can. And just pay no attention to that man. ;-p
Kelvin, if you would like to provide a different headerpic that does not involve red candles and equally fits the bill, you are welcome to do so. It needs to be 700 x 200 px. Are you in for the occasional post?
I’m up for posting and will try not to concentrate on candle flavours.
My apologies for spelling mistakes above.
Were I to be posting again, I would say:
> Colonials. Candles. Colors.
> It is propaganda.
I’m up for it, certainly.
ps how organised?
Once we’re up and running, you will all be given direct access to the site so that you can post directly. If there are seven of us, we can each choose a day. Or, if people have something in mind for a specific day, we can produce a calendar. I’ll email details once I know who’ll be involved.
If I may, I could do with offering something more spiritual to the ether than my usual internet ramblings, Kimberly.
Thanks David. I’ll count you in.
Don’t dare change the header……it is both beautiful and peaceful!
Another vote for purple and pink then.
Provost, will you concede that red is for glasses, not advent candles?
If you’re still looking for volunteers from the hoi paloi, I’m game.
(and the pink is exceptionally pleasing)
Excellent. I was hoping you might join in, Elizabeth.
No, red is for advent candles, glasses are for Vanity Fair.
And Elizabeth’s eagerness simply underlines my contention about colonials and colors one more time.
Why do you think I was so glad Elizabeth signed on?? (wit and literary style have something to do with it too…)
