For the love of Christmas, I just cannot seem to keep up with Advent and Christmas. Am I the only one? I feel completely behind on everything this year.
Blog-wise, I will spare you just how many half-started posts I have in progress right now. Here are just a few: 1. gift books for Christmas for adults, 2. gift books for children, 3. Christmas-themed books we love at our house, and many, many more. It’s December 20 and there are just a few days left for those posts to have any meaning, so I fervently hope to get at least a few of them finished.
What have I been doing with my online time since I was able to sit down here about half an hour ago? Watching Episode 1 of “Minor Revisions,” the online reality show about atheist to Catholic convert Jen Fulwiler. Local readers will remember that Jen spoke at Behold 2011, the Catholic women’s conference, and she also was a featured blogger at Behold 2012. This was thanks to Bonnie Engstrom of A Knotted Life (who is doing such an excellent Advent series on her blog) reminding me about the second episode online tonight.
I was traveling last Thursday night, so unfortunately, I wasn’t able to watch the first episode, only available online live. Fortunately, there was such a demand for watching it online that the producers posted it on YouTube for a short time. So I’m taking the opportunity to watch it now. It is super well-done and enjoyable. Here it is, in case you haven’t seen it.
I can’t tell you how eager I am to read Jen’s memoir when it is released, and I trust it will be just as great as reading her blog and seeing her on “Minor Revisions.”
