Second Monday of Advent

“For evils have encompassed me
    without number;
my iniquities have overtaken me,
    until I cannot see;
they are more than the hairs of my head,
    and my heart fails me.” Psalm 40:12

if it were a sprint,

all my foolish choices

would easily catch

up with me, blocking

the way, but since

grace is a marathon,

you set the pace so

together, we might

cross the finish line.
