Advent :: Just Wait…

Advent, just wait… I tweeted the other day about the Advent Experience i was doing with my students. I ended the tweet & facebook post with “… just wait!” A clever pun on the idea of experiencing advent. I had one person say something but other than that i’m not sure anybody really caught [...]

Beauty & Worship // Space & Values…
