Each day, a special Advent-themed Daily Jolt, with an opportunity for reflection and a microChallenge. Some of the reflections come from unlikely sources, and the challenges help you to take an action, usually a small one, based on the reflection.

I try to believe like I believed when I was five, when your heart tells you everything you need to know. — Lucy Liu

  I keep thinking about this entry. When I was a little girl, I had such anticipation for Christmas. Not the gifts, but of the birth of Baby Jesus – as only a second grader could. As I got older, I missed the anticipation. Sometimes, before we went to bed, I would say to my younger sister, “Let’s close our eyes and pretend that tomorrow is Christmas!” (Even in July.) She thought I was nuts. I couldn’t explain the “anticipation.” I still can’t, and I still miss it.

  Wait, so you mean that after entering the first day we can’t enter again? Whoops.

• Phil Fox Rose

  The contest software does not allow multiple entries. If you’ve already entered. the enter option goes away. We are looking into options. Sorry for the confusion.

• Amy

  I though you only had to fill out an entry form once…..If not then I do not see where to fill in my information either

• Tom

  I agree with Daniel. I do not see a entry form.

• Daniel

  Melissa- still do not see a place to put my information?

• Laurie Walsh

  LOVE this… will use it in group tonight at a rehab for young addicts in Phx!

• Robin Gerke

  Great reminder and explanation about advent. Thanks.

  Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present, which seldom happens to us.

  Daniel – I think it’s in the box up above where you may see a dark green box. Possibly scroll down and there will be a place to put your information? Try it, you never know…

• Daniel

  How do you enter the contest? I just see an option to “invite friends.”

  Yesterday, I was able to enter successfully but today I do NOT see an option to enter. How can I enter today’s Advent Daily Jolt Calendar?

  Jesus said “Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.” (Mark 10:15) I don’t want to grow up . . . I’m a childlike faith kid!
