I read these words recently from a writer named Kate Bowler. She was speaking of this time of year that in the Christian tradition is called Advent, which is a time of waiting. A time when people may not know what is ahead, but are encouraged to wait anyway. And to practice the discipline of hope within this waiting time. This kind of a hope, the disciplined kind, is marked by joy, love, and peace, “even though,” as Wendell Berry wrote, “you have considered all the facts.”
