I
would be remiss if I did not write about dreadful election
no one
thought grifter would win
but he
did
I have
been depressed
won't watch or read news
asked ai to write Sunday pastoral prayer
it composed
better one
than I
could have.
We
have church Christmas project
easy one buying gift cards
for
Methodist Home for Children
already
someone asked to write check
can
someone else purchase gift cards for me?
I said
no
any moron can buy gift card at Target
I did
not say
I am weary
of laziness.
Advent
is around corner
we’ll decorate
after church Sunday before
because
people already will be there --
captive
work team
Advent's third
Sunday we will have festive reception
after
worship
because
I did not arrange Homecoming in October
only
one person said something.
I told
usual people
I am
not going to stress about Advent music this year
sing
if you want
if you
arrange with pianist to practice
no
singing without practice
which
is what they really want to do.
I
saved small clear plates from All Saints candles
to place underneath poinsettias
somehow I dug up battery candles
for people to hold Christmas Eve
six years old they still work
a Hanukkah miracle ha.
Because
there’s
no getting out of Christmas Eve worship this year
I’ve
been slippery as snake (wise as serpent?)
past
few years what with Covid
then
24th falling on Sunday last year
maybe
I am lazy too
oh God can you help me
write one more Christmas Eve sermon?
I took
off my birthday
first
Sunday after Christmas
Katherine
will take me somewhere for surprise!
retired
elder from New York
said
he would preach lead worship that day
it’s Medicare
birthday for me
my 60th fell right before Covid.
Then
we turn to new secular year
with a
clown in the White House
turning
everything into a terrible circus
God help us.
