Who ARE you?

That's the question in this morning's Bible reading, asked by the religious authorities of John the Baptizer. Clearly he's up to something that has them puzzled...wish we Christians could say the same. And his answer: a voice crying in the wilderness. Ah, now that I understand! As a mother I often feel that way, not to mention as a pastor.
But he goes on, prepare the way! Hmmm. I'm preparing the way for Christ/Christmas, with personal spiritual habits and household stuff, but he's doing it for others. How am I, how are you, how are WE as people of God, inviting others into the journey of preparation?
