Advent 1
This year, I spent a lot of time revisiting and refining the TTRPGs I created in 2024. I managed to update 4 of my TTRPGs this year, and now I feel like my back catalogue now just contains works I am proud of.

We had John the Baptist at church today. He came in early before he was supposed to hollering at the people...
John: ARE YOU READY?
Me: Not Yet!
John: ARE YOU READY?
Me: Not yet!
John: WHEN WILL YOU BE READY?
Me: In 1 minute!
John: Well its gonna take me a while to get to the front.

And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way…

Christmas Tree
Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility —
#Advent1 #collect #morningprayer on last day of 1st week. Tree is up. Decorating bit by bit.
Fine tip magic marker drawing of an angel. Faceless, but not terrifying. Hands open (think, mountain pose). Attempt to convey light by not having closed lines to depict head, etc, but open strokes.
You have raised up for us a mighty savior, born of the house of your child David…
~Luke 1:69

Nighttime: rainbow colored lights along the outline of the porch, tree in foreground wrapped in rainbow colored led lights.
Be mindful of your mercy, O LORD, and of your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.

Jacobikerk Utrecht ❤️ Ik ben er gedoopt! En teruggekomen toen ik ging studeren. En: onze oudste twee zijn er ook gedoopt. Het gaat toch door, mensen. Dat alleen al is #hoop. Mooi filmpje voor de eerste advent #Advent1
Come, thou long expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
hope of all the earth thou art;
dear desire of every nation,
joy of every longing heart.
~ Charles Wesley #Advent1
One soft pink candle lit in a candle-holder of four candles.
Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths.

There are many differences between the Church of Scotland and Church of England, but one thing I will never get used to down here is the mammoth pause after the first line of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. There's time to make a cup of tea!
Sorry to be contrary on my first bluesky post!
