Advent: Day 1

Advent: Day 1

A voice cries: 

"In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord;

Make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Every valley shall be lifted up,

and every mountain and hill made low;

the uneven ground shall be made level 

and the rough places a plain.

And the glory of God shall be revealed,

and all flesh shall see it together, 

for the mouth of the Lord has Spoken."

Sarah Beth and I, off to a Lessons and Carols service. 

First stop, Cafe Stella for Mochas. 

Then a deeply beautiful service of scripture, prayer and singing at Christ and St. Lukes Church.

My favorite selection performed by the choir tonight was new to me: 

Then home for a happy (southern) dinner.
