28 de novembro waiting for Jesus from James Calvin Schaap's Forgetting Jesus; Gina was sent home from the church (just a few minutes before the concert) to find a doll for the manger... ...she wound the doll into her shawl, arranging the diapers so that its face was open to her own. She couldn't run in that long skirt because it took both arms to hold the baby. So she walked, telling herself that the show could go on without her, that the manger scene wouldn't come until most of the little kids were swept off the stage. She walked quietly in the brightness of the snow against the darkness of the night, the tiny bundle in her arms seeming as if it were something real. It felt strange to hold, wrapped like it was in those swaddling clothes, and she laughed to think of it - the diapers like those real swaddling clothes in the story, the diapers around the doll from the closet. There was something like music in that idea, she thought, something making harmony in her mind and in her heart, something that made her smile and almost cry at the very same time, something so strange that she was almost ashamed to think it and yet so good that she wanted to tell all the world. She had the baby, and the whole church was full of people, waiting. And they were going to have to wait for her because this was the Prince, after all, and everyone always waits for the Prince. None of what they were doing in that church made any sense without this child, this little old doll in her arms, and she knew it. All of it was silly. If she would choose not to go now - if she just stayed outside here in the perfect peace of the night, in the soft shower of snow - she would make it all clear to them that without the child everything in that church was dumb. 26 de novembro blog quote This is from a blog that I regularly read, but it is so true of me: I have been ravenous all day long, which is VERY annoying. SHUT UP, I tell my stomach, I just ate. Weren't you watching? 23 de novembro music therapy you know it is not a good day when there is no music that you want to listen to 19 de novembro quote from Mike Yankoski's "Under the Overpass"
15 de novembro thankful Thursday thirteen
12 de novembro Monday reportHow frustrating when the correct word cannot be found! Lyndon & I are currently searching for one for the CINAG website.
How great when you can latch on to the right word! I was thinking about somebody I recently met, who in many ways appears quite average but tends to look slightly __________ . That word is 'maniacal'!
I am sick, apparently. Even wearing flannel pajamas and a fleece sweater, and laying under a thick down comforter doesn't stave off the chills. The only thing that hurts is my throat but it hurts a lot; even breathing is painful. Need to dig out the humidifier. Don't phone me today - I can whisper only.
The dancing went well this weekend.
SATURDAY
The Habitat for Humanity event was interesting, and it was terrific to see Herschelle there. The band (Ricky Bogart and the New Casbah) was quite good, but unfortunately someone forgot to communicate with them that the first song should be swingable, since that was when the organizers wanted us to energetically seed the dance floor.
SUNDAY
The WJO concert was very good too. How I wished we could dance while they were playing! We did have lots of room at the back of the auditorium in the afternoon, although carpet is not an ideal dance surface. The concert-goers packed around to watch, and many later said how much they enjoyed it.
In the evening Neil had relocated the sound system to the foyer (not possible in the afternoon because the WAG was open), and that was a much better space for us. More room to dance, more room for watchers, better floor. Folks came out to get their drinks, then could remain to watch.
All three events were only freestyle dancing, so that's less pressure. At the WJO intermissions, we included one rueda and one song of steals.
The new red dress needs some work; I wore it on Saturday but the skirt is so wide! I need to slim it down.
The new brown/white dress I wore on Sunday was great for dancing.
I'm grateful that three former Kinetic members were willing to help on Sunday.
11 de novembro criticizing againWe went to a Habitat for Humanity fundrising evening (silent & live auctions, draws, cocktails, supper, dance) last night because the organizers wanted us to seed the dance floor.
I was amazed that a crowd of people who have the wherewithal to spend thousands of dollars on auction items don't have the knowledge (or courtesy?) to applaud the band.
04 de novembro November 4 with no snowI've never separated eight egg whites/yolks in one day before. That's something unusual.
I never claimed this blog would be profound.
