"We Three Kings" and "O Come O Come Emmanuel" are two such favorites.<br /><br /><b>BlueMamma</b>: The Coventry Carol makes me think about Darfur a lot these days. I know we're supposed to "put more pressure" on our leaders to help stop the genocide, but really, could a person feel any more powerless to help?

However, there are connections everywhere. For example, 40 is an important number: 40 days on the ark, 40 years wandering in the desert, 50 days fasting in the desert. In Sunday readings, the Hebrew scriptures (aka "Old Testament) and New Testament scriptures are always connected somehow.<br /><br /><b>Nonny</b>: If I get an idea for a blog post, I'll often go ahead and write a draft in advance.

I've done nothing for days. I've mentally exhausted from all the excitement.<br /><br />I'm all caught up on your posts and they are wonderful. I love that dollhouse and I'm sure Lucia is going to get hours of enjoyment out of it.<br /><br />I didn't know anything about the "Holy Innocents". Is that a Catholic holiday? It seems right up their alley with the death and fear and stuff ;)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06693590401750798739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-6199067032466289052006-12-28T07:04:00.000-08:002006-12-28T07:04:00.000-08:00I thought that had something to do with Passover, ...I thought that had something to do with Passover, but I didn't think it was this time of year. My Catholicism is SOOOO rusty!<br /><br />I'll have to check the tune out. I like minor chords a LOT better than major ones. Some major are nice, but they sound so "bubble gum" to me.<br /><br />Hope you have a GREAT new year!Lady Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926068286599905945noreply@blogger.com
