| 0:00.0 | I'm your host John Harris and I'm your host John Harris and I have a |
| 0:15.1 | commitment to make to you today. No politics this episode. None. We're not going to talk |
| 0:20.9 | about it whether in the church or in the United States or in the world, we're just not going to do it. |
| 0:25.7 | We're going to talk instead about something that I think is extremely important and that is Advent. |
| 0:32.0 | We are in this season of advent. If you're in a |
| 0:34.8 | liturgical church you have readings that you're doing, maybe as a family you're doing |
| 0:39.2 | those readings anyway and when I was a kid we the, I don't know what you even call them, but the, like the doors that you would open every day for the month of December leading up to Christmas. And it's just amazing to me that as a kid |

| 1:46.2 | And my family wasn't like that. We still did give gifts and in the tradition of the wise men. |
| 1:52.2 | And I mean, we would read the Christmas story sometimes even on Christmas. |
| 1:56.1 | I go to a church that and I mean this year actually this is relevant that didn't close on |
| 1:59.9 | Christmas. Some churches do that can you imagine that I mean in the area that I live right now, |
| 2:04.4 | as far as I know, the church that I attend is probably one of the only ones open on Christmas Day. |
