a prayer for advent

From the blog of one of my number one boys... such truth... I wonder how our holidays would be different if we could set our minds to this...

"At this season in Germany and other parts of Europe, they sell Advent calendars, which count off the days of waiting and praying for Jesus’ Coming –- which is what Advent means. In most of the West, every evening’s television reminds us how many shopping days are left. Suppose we take these advertisements as a call to pray rather than to purchase. I’ll put myself in the mind of Mary and Joseph, focussed on the expected baby, wondering what he will be like and how he will affect my life."

I noticed that the other day and I was wondering if there wasn't some blog etiquette, if it was ok to blatantly rip something from someone else's blog...

I was just noticing this again... can you be 'one' of someone's 'number one boys'? Can you really have a bunch of 'number one boys'? By definition, isn't there just one of those?
