A Note from the Author
Each year during Advent and Lent, I follow a Bible reading plan for the season. Each day, I journal a short meditation and write a brief prayer. The following year, I have someone proofread my writings and publish them.
This book is being published in 2019 with my personal devotions from 2018. I found the reading plan online; I don’t even recall where. It may be the most diverse collections of readings I’ve used, and I didn’t see a strong theme when I was reading them initially. Yet when I read through my meditations this year, I saw a recurring theme: The Glory of the Lord.
Thanks to my friends Alice Goodwin and George Lampe, fellow parishioners at All Saints Anglican Church in San Antonio, for proofreading. I hope you are blessed by these Scriptures, thoughts, and prayers during this holy season.

The First Sunday in Advent
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of
