You probably wouldn't like my way of doing it, but I always listen to the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" which is actually "holy week" music. It chronicles the craziness and tension of that week when nobody yet understands what is going to happen. The disciples were as much in the dark as anyone else at that point. I also enjoy experiencing each day of Advent with something special. There is a book called "The Advent Book" that is really great....you open a door each night on part of the story. I wrote devotions based on it that I post each year in my Journey blog. It's a great book for families during Advent.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890796903959709429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-72619091229157647022009-12-01T08:46:54.603-06:002009-12-01T08:46:54.603-06:00You are teaching all of us something Betsy.
