"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

Thanks for this, much enjoyed. A relief to be able to click and be uplifted rsther than at OCICBW where one clicks and is assaulted.
ReplyDeleteGive him a break. He's just in a bad mood - which he has every right to. Scratching around for a fight so he can feel justified. Just don't bite and he won't be able bite back.
ReplyDeleteAdvent joy to absolutely everyone!
But wouldn't that be depriving him of some relief? Perhaps I should offer myself up as a token 'militant' atheist (a viper from a brood of vipers).
ReplyDeleteMay you have a contemplative Advent and a joy filled Christmas. I must admit the King's College Choir is always superb. I was able to attend a concert by their neighbor, Trinity College, (a mixed voice choir) this Summer. You might like Komm, Jesu, komm by them.
Hey, Erp. You want to be the 'sacrificial viper', you go right ahead, darlin'. I'm steering clear.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. Lovely.
Me thinks you misread Brian's post.
ReplyDeleteI do not think he meant that MP was attacking folks, as he has been quite pleasant. Brian meant that all the music videos currently at OCICBW... are part of Ho, Ho Phobia. So the, and I use this term loosely, music, assaults one's aural senses.
Maybe so, Dahveed. Maybe so. Then again, maybe not.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, I needed it badly today. King's College Choir can always open the clouds.
ReplyDeleteWe are grieving for my father whose memory we celebrated the day after Thanksgiving and learned yesterday that my sister Judy will undergo a mastectomy December 28th.
Please pary for her and the family as we ponder the miracles of the Incarnation.
Oh, Gerry, I'm so very sorry. Please be assured of my prayers and the prayers of all who read this.
