. . . . . .Having a nice cup of herbal tea with lemon between phase one and phase two of this day. You can feel the intensity of Advent at church. It is so important to me to take time away from the "holiday crunch" to worship with friends and contemplate these reminders of the reason for the season at this time of year.
Next on the agenda this afternoon: The Community Christmas Cantata. The dedication of this group is very obvious by their willingness to devote several hours each Sunday afternoon, beginning in September, to work very hard at learning new music that will become a gift to the community each year on the Sunday before Christmas. Colds, flu and laryngitis have been spreading among us like wildfire so today's presentation will take place by the grace of God. With that in mind, despite our handicaps, I'm sure the message we feel in our hearts will be conveyed and that is the most important thing.
With the exception of one year, this has been an annual event ever since Christmas of 1991. As I reflect on the fact that I was there then and every year since, and consider how many years it has been, I can only draw one conclusion: I must be old!
