That the Powers of Hell May Vanish
Church last night was a service of lessons and carols. Concluded with this…
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand; ponder nothing earthly minded, for, with blessing in His hand, Christ our God to earth descendeth, our full homage to demand.
King of kings, yet born of Mary, as of old on earth He stood, Lord of lords, in human vesture, in the body and the blood. He will give to all the faithful His own self for heav’nly food.
Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way, as the Light of light descendeth from the realms of endless day, that the pow’rs of hell may vanish as the darkness clears away.
At His feet the six-winged seraph, cherubim with sleepless eye, veil their faces to the Presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry, “Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, Lord Most High!”
With everything dark going on in the world around us, we need more than ever this Light of light from the realms of endless day.

Snowflakes
E crocheted these snowflakes over the past few weeks. Constantly amazed at what she can do with thread.

Advent
Home sick from church today, unfortunately. Sinus infection of some variety, flu-like. Feel pretty terrible.
That being said, happy first Sunday of Advent. I thought I would share these two kids-art pictures to mark the day.
A drawing by t, age 5, of the nativity, completely unprompted. I guess he’s taken in a lot from years past. And a rock arrangement by j, age 10, of the same. She’s always making cool stuff out of ordinary objects.
