Yes, the latest unemployment numbers are a bit better and the Dow has been up recently, but I haven’t seen any massive outbreak of hope. Have you?</p> <p>A new dawn of hope doesn’t appear to be on the horizon, either. Our national debt has grown so large that it’s almost incomprehensible. The European economy is more messed up than ours. The vaunted Arab Spring is looking more and more like a stepping stone for the advance of Islamist regimes, thus further destabilizing the Middle East. Iran will soon have the capacity to build nuclear weapons. Not much hope here.</p> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/patheos-on-faith/post/do-we-need-advent-more-than-christmas/2011/12/13/gIQA6ziJsO_blog.html?wprss=rss_patheos-on-faith">Read full article &#62;&#62;</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/c/34656/f/635900/s/1f961699/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/viral/sendEmail.cfm?lang=en&title=Do+we+need+Advent+more+than+Christmas%3F&link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fblogs%2Fpatheos-on-faith%2Fpost%2Fdo-we-need-advent-more-than-christmas%2F2011%2F12%2F13%2FgIQA6ziJsO_blog.html%3Fwprss%3Drss_patheos-on-faith" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/144544113298/u/0/f/635900/c/34656/s/1f961699/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/144544113298/u/0/f/635900/c/34656/s/1f961699/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/144544113298/u/0/f/635900/c/34656/s/1f961699/a2t.img" border="0"/>Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:34:43 GMThttp://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/patheos-on-faith/post/do-we-need-advent-more-than-christmas/2011/12/13/gIQA6ziJsO_blog.html?wprss=rss_patheos-on-faithMark D.
