Thanks Laura, l was listening yesterday to John Dickson talking about the impact of John the Baptist on Jesus, as a teacher and mentor, and so, as I belatedly came to read this, I found your reflections on John the Baptist and advent and judgement very thought-provoking.
I think I may be with you in finding myself quite cautious (overwhelmed?) if I were to encounter the real John the Baptist in the flesh, hairy skins, locusts and all!
I'm also going to chase up 'Every Moment Holy' -thanks for the tip.
