Love, So Much More Than a Feeling
We have no idea if Joseph felt the kind of romantic love for Mary that we associate with marriage. What we do know is that he demonstrated love in his care for her after overcoming his fears.

For the first time, I managed to keep my advent photo-a-day almost every day. I missed one day when a combination of things kept me from even thinking about it.

It’s only the second day of Advent and already I have failed at my photography practice! Yesterday’s word was journey; not all journeys are physical, although the one I took to Victoria to visit my friend Liz was. Her journey with ALS took her to places that she hadn’t anticipated. She touched so many lives…
