Angels

Tell me heaven has angels
Tell me hell's only on earth
Tell me God loves strangers
Tell me what it is worth

to make the next step
to see angels right now
to live through the day
love ourselves somehow

Tell me God speaks in silence
And that sometime I will see
Not through glass, dimly
But face to face

Angels gave me gifts today
They come as friends
Filling my need
Holding my hand


Thank you my angels



A road that once was open
An empty face and empty bones
-- Keane, untitled 1

Where

What is that longing you can't place? Like being home sick. But where is home?

Roads are treacherous, they take your feet and lead you.

Coldplay

Thank you Nicholas and Jeanne for helping to get Coldplay tickets for January 26, in GM place! I am so excited.

On Sunday during the Youth service Evelyn and Alex sang "Fix You", Gerry accompanied on the piano - it took me by surprise. Alex's voice is so good with that kind of music.
The piece had been chosen by Carla, one of the WVUC youth group. She wrote in the bulletin that she knew it was a love song, but for her, it was also about God. Very moving.

And talking about singing - our concerts are coming up; the evening of December 10th and the afternoon of the 11th... Handel's Messiah (of course) and Christmas songs. I know from this point on everyone will hide when they see me coming, as they know I'll try to sell them tickets :-)

But what better way to prepare for Christmas?

Christmas time. Lights, love and lyrics.

Soul

I mounted my anger
and let it ride me
we trampled friend and foe underfoot
and I felt fine, ferocious, vindicated

barbs don't pierce the leather
mindless of the hunter's mark
numb

and empty
words too feeble to fill the space
thoughts too tumultuous to hear grace

If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing
So much to offer, why offer your soul?

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful, it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful, it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Paul, 1Cor13
