12/19/11 Yesterday, we had our annual service of Lessons and Carols. This means that we read a lot of scripture that had to do with the coming of Jesus Christ, starting with Old Testament prophecies through the birth stories and adoration by the Magi. In between the readings, we sang. This service is one of most highly attended of any all year. We love to sing. We were made to sing. Singing gets us right with God, close to God. I always end the service with a benediction from John 1:1-14, a passage that usually says, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Greek word logos could also be translated as follows: In the beginning was the Song, and the Song was with God, and the Song was God. My prayer verse for the day is Psalm 98:1, "O sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory." Keep singing. Sing to the Lord a new song.
Love,
Lynn
