Living Between the Advents
Preaching Advent in Year B
Unfortunately, in our culture we have been conditioned to expect people to break their promises. Politicians promise us all sorts of things when they are running for office, and even as we base our vote on what they say, we fully expect them to break their promises. Advertisers promise amazing results if we will just use this product or the best deal ever if we will just shop at that store, and even as we spend our money we fully expect the promise not to hold true. People promise us all sorts of things, but we are never completely surprised when they let us down.
