ad (+) vent

As the season of Advent approaches once again, The Georgia Bulletin would like to recreate its seasonal parity to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's "Vent" for readers called The Ad (+) Vent.

For those of you not familiar with the "The Vent," it is a column in the AJC's Metro section that allows readers to voice their opinion or express their displeasure on just about any topic. It's done in a thought-provoking, yet entertaining manner.

The Ad (+) Vent will also be your words. It won't be negative or disparaging of others. It should contain positive, uplifting words that speak to your faith, God's goodness and mercy, personal testimonies, something good about your parish, a ministry, etc. It still has to be brief - two to three lines maximum. Your comments can be in the form of a narrative or question, or both. They can also be humorous.

Let's prepare the way of the Lord with words that make us smile, reflect and sustain us in this period of waiting.

Fax your Ad (+) Vents to the attention of Michael Alexander: (404) 877-5505 or e-mail them to MAlexander@archatl.com.
