Christmas 2008

Better late than never, huh?

Do you remember that Bing Crosby / David Bowie Christmas tune? Turns out Mr. Bowie didn’t want to sing the Little Drummer Boy (“he hated it”), so the music producers for Mr. Crosby quickly wrote the little counterpoint melody… (here’s a link to the article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/19/AR2006121901260.html.)

I bring this up because the last verse is stuck in my mind.

“I pray my wish will come true; for my child, and your child, too.
He'll see the day of glory, see the day when men of good will live in peace, live in peace again.
Peace on Earth, can it be? Can it be?”

I know this is my prayer, and I think it’s everyone’s prayer… that our children, and our children’s children, will live in peace.

This Christmas, I am grateful to know and work with so many talented, gifted, and giving people. The members of the Worship Arts team are a source of much joy, and I think the group has grown and evolved to be a very important and vital ministry of the church.

Blessings to you and your family this Christmas/New Year/Epiphany/Lenten season… feel free to shoot me an email or drop me a line!
