Holidays
Highlight of Christmas has always been the Christmas Eve service and family gathered. Nearly everyone was here. Joe leaves this morning on a 6:30 flight for NC. To celebrate early with Joe, for supper last night Linda fixed traditional New Years Day dinner -- hoppin’ john, collard greens, rutabaga.

Sadness when everyone is gone -- having beloveds here is Christmas happiness -- a noisy house, and gratitude for a Christmas that a year ago was not expected for me!!

Next project. Tuesday morning Bible study for Lent Term 2012. They had enough of Saint Paul, maybe we’ll study Mark and John. Mark, our first and oldest gospel. John, newest gospel and totally different from the synoptics. Stir in a bit of Anglicanism. Scripture, Tradition and Reason. lex orandi lex credendi.
