There are many strengths that America has - many wonderful opportunities given Christians here. But we Americans are just so, so busy - always have so many things going on. I think this has had a drastic impact upon our understanding of Religion and the Christian Faith - where America tends to a quick, hurried, I rub Your back, you bless mine type of attitude.
Be still and know that I am the Lord.
There will be advent service tonight. I wonder how many people will just be too busy for it.

When I arrived at this congregation Advent services were not done. The first ones were pretty scarce, the second year was better, but then attendance fell off again. Sometimes all we have is the cooks from the Advent supper and the choir that practices just after.
But that's much better than all the retired folks who don't come to Matins. That's another story :)
Blessings.
