A guest post by OBO writer Jo Advent. When I think of the word, I think of my older sister hiding in the corner during giant, much-too-loud holiday parties, reading over an old book. “Whatcha reading?” I’d ask. “It’s about Advent.” “What’s that?” “That’s the season of waiting for Jesus to come to earth.” “Isn’t …

(I love seeing my peers sometimes with signs like this and then looking up what the verse actually says.) But this time? The paraphrase was straight-up blasphemous. Let’s …
