about those crooked paths...

Today's Gospel reading for the 2nd Sunday of Advent was taken from Luke 3.  It quoted from Isaiah, and it made me think of the title of the blog.  At some point I will have to pull out my Bible and see if the scripture from Isaiah is the same one used in my title...

A voice of one crying out in the desert:

"Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.

Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be made low.

The winding roads shall be made straight,

and the rough ways made smooth,

and all flesh shall see the salvation of God."

There are some rough spots in my life that need to be made smooth, some winding roads that could be a little straighter.  So hopefully, we can make it to confession next Saturday.  Father even said the "c-word" in a sentence in his homily today - saying something about making a good confession before Christmas in order to better welcome Jesus into our lives.
