I was in Walmart the other day and was really hungry. I was looking at the deli ham and grabbed the largest, cheapest pack I could. After all it said, GREAT VALUE. The fact of the matter is: it was NOT the Black Forest Honey Baked Ham is claimed to be. It was a knock off brand if I may. During the Christmas season, there are lots of knock off brands…cheap substitutes for what Christmas is all about which do not recognize Advent is a real season…and that there is one every year, now…that also points to one THEN…in the future when Jesus comes in all his glory…AGAIN! This series will attempt to take advent seriously, but will hopefully not show a solidarity with the ‘war on Christmas’ either.
