Reflecting the Light of Hope

Welcome to the 2024 Marble Women’s Ministry and Friends Advent Blog, our 11th year of hosting! Realizing that this year has been challenging for many worldwide, we hope our blog will inspire readers each day of Advent with stories of light and hope. 

Our mission this year is to create a blog that will inspire readers each day of Advent with stories of light and hope. Advent is the season where we await the birth of Jesus, the light of the world. The daily blog will help you find balance in the hectic days leading up to Christmas with inspiring stories, poems, music, devotions, pictures, and much more. 

“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite of the darkness.”
Desmond Tutu

Join readers from 160 countries worldwide each day who read our blog and experience hope and light as we wait for the birth of Jesus. You can subscribe to WordPress and receive emails daily from our blog during Advent. 

When we arrive at Christmas Day, we hope the blog helped you remember and live out all of the promises of the Advent Season.

Marcie Doll and the Marble Women’s Ministry

  1. Betty – Hello, I am Betty, the author of this blog, and this is my husband, Dan. I retired on 6/30/2018, and Dan retired about a year later, on 5/31/2019. Now that we are both retired, we plan to travel most often in our 23FBKS Micro Lite travel trailer. We also hope to travel other ways occasionally, such as taking a cruise, a roadtrip, perhaps a tour someday. In addition to travel, we like to walk, ride bikes, read, and play Scrabble. I love to write. This blog chronicles our travels in retirement. My purpose in writing this blog is: 1) to offer insight for those who may be making similar trips/adventures in the future 2) to share our adventures with family and friends who care to read and 3) to capture the memories for us. I hope you enjoy reading my blog. I hope it is uplifting, gives you a few smiles and maybe an idea or two. Comments are very much appreciated, and I will respond to all. Thank you for reading, and Happy Travels!
