Advent: Transitioning into the dark time of the year
A new blog post from Bishop Magness
 
By another name, transition is change. The longer I live the more I 
recognize, and at times even accept, that living a balanced life is 
largely contingent upon how successfully I handle the transitions in my 
lives.  Ready or not, new events and occurrences happen in our lives and
 invite us to change. Transitions and changes occur when we move to a 
job or change positions; when we move to a new school or start a new 
grade; when children are born into our families and then grow up; when 
new friends appear and old friends leave; and when our Christian faith 
community leaders prepare to depart as new leaders prepare to arrive.
