Well, today is/was the 4th (and final) Sunday of Advent. It’s a bit more on top of Christmas than usual, which accounts for all the boxes and wrapping paper and detached labels floating through the house…
BUT… the main purpose of Advent is to “prepare the way”, so let’s take advantage of the peace of this night to sit for a moment and let our spirits grow calm in contemplation of the holy silence of the night and the coming miracle of grace and love.
About Arby:
In a comment on my Facebook page, Rene R. had a question:
“May I ask what breed please?”
My response:
Haha! According to the shelter from which he was adopted: “Mama was a French Bulldog and Daddy was whatever got into the yard.” <cough>
My son, out of curiosity, had Arby’s Doggie-DNA done, and Daddy—apparently—was a Siberian Husky. Net result being that Arby looks quite a lot like a hyena when the mood takes him…
