Stealing one from my daughter. She babysat recently for a cute seven-year-old who was more than slightly obsessed with the world of spies. "Stand over there," he commanded, conspiratorially, of course. "Stand over there and act normal." So, she did...as best she could. Later, she sidled back up to him and said, "How was that? Pretty normal, huh?!"
"Yeah," he replied.
"'Cause I am normal...really...just normal," she says.
He looked up at her, as only a seven-year-old spy could. Pause....
"For now."
That's the season of Advent, isn't it? Our life...for now...waiting for the in-breaking of the Kingdom of God. Come quickly, O God...come quickly.
And we will wait...for now...
