Mark 1:1 The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
The good news of Advent is that we get a “do over.” Advent means we get to start over again with whatever we choose to start over. We can start over with our relationship to
God 
Spouse
Neighbor
Enemy
Stranger
Child
And even with ourselves.
The beginning of the Good News happens anytime we decide we want to stop what we are doing,
stop on the path we are on,
stop useless ways and patterns of thinking
and start over with Jesus.
The beginning of the Good News happens anytime we choose to give up
Fear
Anger
Control
Judging
The beginning of the Good News Happens whenever we decide to
Love the unlovable
Bring peace to the war torn
Bring hope to those who have lost all hope.
And bring joy where only sorrow has been known.
The beginning of the good news happens whenever we examine our heart and decide to confess anything that keeps us from living the Good News that lives in us and wants to manifest itself into the world through us.
The beginning of the Good News can start at any moment. Including now.
