Festival

Were I blogging today it would have to be about last evening's Festival of Lessons and Carols at Holy Nativity Episcopal Church. Hit by the storm and still reeling, while also serving as hurricane refugee campus for nearby Holy Nativity Episcopal School, HNEC has risen as an outpost of Heaven and a clarion of Christmas 2018, where that most holy and beloved season arrived in musical magic. It was sheer wonder, a place to experience Maranatha, that the Lord has come indeed, and in answer to our cry.


Even though the sight of the chaos will return when we drive back into Panama City on Saturday morning, nothing else spectacular needs to happen in 2018 to still the storm in my heart. It happened last night as we heard the old, old stories and sang our beautiful songs. If you missed it, I'm afraid your healing may take longer than mine.
