1. Twenty-Five Years Today

We already celebrated 25 years of marriage with a cruise last March.

But today is the actual day!

Sometimes, in all the busy-ness, our marriage feels a little like Tevya's and Golda's, from Fiddler on the Roof.  With our anniversary looming, it seemed an appropriate choice for us to perform at the last Light of Christ Talent Show!




A cord of three strands is not easily broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:12b


So grateful for that third cord, Jesus Christ, who holds us together when we start to fray.

And so grateful for my good, generous, faithful, funny, providing, honoring, wise and loving husband!

2. Song of the Midwest Blizzard

Oh hear those snowplows rumblin'
Snow tum-tumblin' too
Come on it's lovely weather
To stay inside together with you...

Outside the snow is fallin'
And friends are callin'
"Stay home!"
Come on it's cozy weather
For a board game together
With all.

Bundle up, bundle up, bundle up, let's go
To play in the snow.
There's feet of it on
The driveway for to blow...

Bundle up, bundle up, bundle up, it's great
To live in this state.
We all
Think it's cool
There's no school
And we all get to sleep in late!

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
We're comfy cozy inside
We've got a fire in the fireplace
While the wind howls so loudly outside

Oh hear those snowplows rumblin'

Snow tum-tumblin' too
Come on it's lovely weather
To stay inside together with you!

Tune:  "Sleigh Ride"
Lyrics:  Mine, with apologies!

3. First Snow

First Snow Lighter than thistledownBlown by a fairy, Fine flakes of snow fall throughSpace grey and airy. Whiter than lily thatBlows sweet in summer,This first snow of winter,This gentle newcomer. from Fairies and Suchlike, by Ivy O. Eastwick

5. the here of this earth...this now of the sky

In honor of the last day of National Poetry month...I just had to post these lines from e.e. cummings!Father Rooster read them in his sermon last Sunday, quoting from Richard John Neuhaus's little book As I Lay Dying: Meditations Upon Returning. They speak so eloquently of the things that keep us from really living in the present moment:whereling whenlings(daughters of ifbut offsprings of

And now you wish, perhaps,To learn of less familiar traps. Beware of heard, a

7. Farewell to the Leaves

The weather has turned windy, rainy and cold this weekend, and I am mournfully saying goodbye to the beautiful autumn foliage.... Leavesby E.L. Brady How silently they tumble downAnd come to rest upon the groundTo lay a carpet, rich and rare,Beneath the trees without a care,Content to sleep, their work well done,Colors gleaming in the sun. At other times, they wildly flyUntil they nearly reach
