Christmas 2011



 -----------------------

This will be remembered in our family as the Christmas that the girls were awakened at 9:30 with a knock on their doors and their mother's sweet voice, "Merry Christmas. That's the good news..."

Church was at ten this morning. Needless to say, by the time the Shaws arrived at Trinity the remaining seats were on the front row.
David Campbell was eloquent as always and proclaimed a bit of good news I had somehow missed in the past: the Greek word "lego" was translated in at least one place in the King James Bible as "sing" so that gives some precedence to imagine a lot of singing in the Christmas story. Don't we all want those angels "singing" rather than "saying" their good news?

Thank for sharing this story, Terrell.

Joan, I remember when you recited Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Can you still recite it?
