If we are going to discern "what is best" - what is "excellent", what really matters, what is of ultimate importance - Paul tells us that the place to start is by attending to our loves. There is a very different model of the human person at work here. Instead of the rationalist, intellectualist model that implies, "You are what you think," Paul's prayer hints at a very different conviction: "You are what you love."
~James K.A. Smith "You Are What You Love"
This Advent, we focused on a very nontraditional topic, our hearts. Beginning with Shane and Shane's "Above All Else", our quotes and music all pointed to keeping our hearts soft and responding to the Lord's work in our lives.
We also read "The Advent of the Lamb of God" by Russ Ramsey over breakfast most mornings and found some fun breakfast recipes (like pumpkin chocolate muffins) to add to our rotation.
