My friend Sam often says: "Read Matthew; he tells it like it is!"
Matthew is central to Year A, with a touch of John and Luke thrown in. Advent is always a strong season in A, and it is fun to anticipate how to do it.
This year, I take in a new asset, Sullenberger's autobiography of life-long preparation for a critical moment. You remember Sully, the airliner pilot who safely water-landed in the Hudson. It turns out that he not only had a life-long love for the "art of the airplane", he also had great experience as an accident investigator. His research specialty related to that?
Sullenberger had studied every safe and not-so-safe emergency water landing on record, and all of the military research on those landings.
Preparation counts. It will this year, too.
