IDK
A reluctance to turn on the internet and go online this morning, IDK why. Yesterday's ongoing classic: Army Navy 7-31. Looked at CFB rankings again, my warped suspicion, Alabama intentionally got themselves pushed down to 13 so they could be matched with and beat the hell out of 14 Michigan. Go Blue. Looked at FSU 2020 schedule and hope they'll be on their way back up, and tomahawk chops for Sun Bowl game with Arizona State.
Third Sunday of Advent is Rose Sunday, the pink candle will be lit. It has zilch to do with anybody in the Holy Family, and once again the rumor is quashed that the pink candle means Mary & Joe are still hoping for a girl in spite of his nightmare.
Eons ago the Pope decreed that the penitential season of Advent could be eased up a bit by allowing flowers on the Altar, and organ music, and refreshments, and clergy could wear pink vestments instead of penitential purple, thus Rose Sunday. Has nothing to do with today's lectionary readings. A knownothing once said, No, the pink candle signifies it's Mary Sunday, but that's baloney: that's next week, Advent Four is Mary Sunday, when we read the Annunciation, appearance of the angel to one of the parents, Mary in Luke's gospel, Joseph in Matthew's gospel. In Latin Mass terms it's Gaudete Sunday after the first word of the introit, Gaudete in Domino semper: iterum dico, gaudete, Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say, rejoice. (Philippians 4:4 KJV). So, it's Rejoice Sunday when of course worship should always open with a rejoice hymn, but usually doesn't because the church and the world have moved on past the notion of a penitential Advent. Which is fine with me.
Breakfast in a few minutes, black coffee, biscuit with last little nibblebits of TGiving ham and cheese melted on, last slice of TGiving pumpkin pie.
