Merry Christmas to all! Sunday will mark the tenth day of
Christmas. We will need to find ten Lords a' leaping
somehow. (Any volunteers?) We will actually be doing
something that we have not done since 2017 - namely a
service of lessons and carols. This also gives us an
opportunity to hear all of the Christmas stories - from the
visit of the Magi, to the naming of Jesus in the Jerusalem
Temple, and ultimately to the blessings of both Simeon and
Anna. Since Christmas Season actually only lasts 12 days,
including Christmas Eve and possibly two Sundays, we
seldom hear some of the stories and so our celebrations are
actually incomplete.
I'm planning to be away this Sunday, attending a 50th
Anniversary Celebration for some close friends of mine back
in Indiana. I was at their wedding so I'm dealing with feeling
incredibly old now! I haven't changed at all so everybody
should recognize me. I'll let you know next week.
Blessings to all.
