Advent, Letting Fire Outta The Box

Day 14 of Advent

There is a winter fog on at Fair Haven, thick and icy, blending sky and river into heavy wool silver as deep down on the back of a lamb.  A fire leaps in our stove, shut tight behind a glass door.  I have spent my life sitting in front of fires in boxes.  Reading in Exodus.  God’s gonna put Himself in a box, Fire in a box, but boy howdy wait until Advent, He’s coming out.  No one can keep God in a box, not even God.
