 Readings:

Isaiah 62, 1-5,  The Lord delights in you.

Psalm 96,  Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations.

1 Corinthians 12, 4-11, There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit.

Emma and her pal.

Emma's pal says, "Hi, Everybody, How you doing?"

 For those who don’t have a decent Bible or a book of the readings, here are two links that I use, The Bible at Your Fingertips (http://st-luke-church.org/bible-at-finger-tips.php) and USCCB, The New American Bible (http://www.usccb.org/).  

The difference?  The first is Protestant more or less, and the second is officially Catholic and has the 12 little books in between the O.T. & N.T., called Deuterocanonical or Apocrypha. 

Both are good translations.

One more week to ticket time for Christmas:   Two performances at two different venues, one at the Meyerson as usual, the other at the brand new Winspear Opera House.  The plans:

2.  December 15, Tuesday, 8:00:   The Winspear, South Pacific, $50 (cheapest in the house; with 15 or more we get better seats at $55)  Our man at the Dallas Morning News, Roger Jones, tells me the Winspear's beauty will take my breath away.  See his op ed in last Sunday's paper. 

An extra: pre-performance wine & cheese at the Tulip Lane parsonage with a tour through the best Christmas decorations in Dallas, i.e., Highland Park.

Let Rosemary or me know if you would like one or both performances.

It takes a certain maturity of mind to accept that nature works as steadily in rust as in roses.
