First Saturday of Advent

And he said, "Beware that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name and say, 'I am he!' and 'The time is near!'  Do not go after them."  Luke 21:8

we could chase
         after the latest
      hucksters, or
   hold on to
   that dusty hope
      heirloom;
we could believe
         every lie
      tweeted and
      pitched to us, or
simply rely
on your
   word.
