“What good is it to me if Mary gave birth to the Son of God fourteen hundred years ago and I do not also give birth to the Son of God in my time and in my culture?”—Meister Eckhardt

Hope: Living in the Now and the Not Yet

Well, we are definitely living in the "now" and the "not yet" with this blog!

For some reason, even though there are 11 of us registered as members, no members are showing on some of your screens, including mine.  Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.  Silvi and I are still trying to sort out the glitches, so we can streamline this, but time is elusive and jet lag abounds...but we have hope!

18 people are now involved in the Creative Advent journey, from Brazil to Bulgaria!  We'd love to hear from ALL of you, and if you send us photos of your work, we'll post in the "Gallery" (to the left).  Let's see what you're working on!   

Seven of us met last Monday in Tyrone, GA, to begin our adventure together.  It was a sweet and powerful time.  We took communion together, prayed, and then set to with a vengeance!  Images were flying in all directions, out of magazines and into piles.  The goal was to get some direction for the first theme--Preparation--make the accordion book and cover its outside with paint or image or word, and begin to assemble images for the first page layout on the inside.  We'll finalize this coming Monday, and begin on our second theme, Hope.

Week 2 Meditation, Materials & Creative Process are posted on the left sidebars.  If you have any questions, you can put them in the comments below and we'll try to help. 

Enjoy your week!
