December 2, 2012: The Rhythm of the Season – Michael Hidalgo

When the people of Israel were learning to live as free men and women. God told them to set aside times for festivals. Why? Because if we just go about our days – day after day after day after day – and our weeks – week after week after week – and our years – you get it. But what happens when there are times that cause us to stop. Times that break up the constant flow of time and give us rhythm. 

The answer? Those times remind us that we are human. Woven into the very fabric of our biological existence is a rhythm. A heartbeat. A breath. It’s there. This is why we connect to rhythm naturally. Rhythm is human. Advent reminds us of the time when God became human. He came and made our rhythm make sense.
