That’s a word I made up to catch your attention to remind you that in spite of this Covid mess we are still celebrating Advent.  While we are longing for something to go away (Covid), we should also be celebrating the One who has come, Christ.  We can set our minds on things that are Covid or we can set our minds on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father.  It’s very easy to become Covid-minded given the way it has affected our everyday lives, the media saturation, statistics and sadness.  Covid cannot be ignored but that doesn’t mean it should replace Christ in our thinking and meditation.  It’s always been hard to keep Christ in Christmas.  The busyness, the commercialism, the expectations and the traditions have often bumped the Christ to the nativity set where He remains until January 2, when we tuck Him back into storage.  Our Christmas celebrations may look different this year but nothing has changed the fact that Christ Jesus the Lord has come.  We celebrate His first Advent because of all that He did through His life, death, burial and resurrection.  But, we also have the promises to whet our appetite for His Second Advent.  He is coming again!  While we remember what has been done, let’s also look forward to what He intends to do, “looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ…”
