God is Near!

Good Morning, everybody - the thirty-third Sunday of Ordinary Time. Today's readings remind us that even in times of trial and tribulation, this seeming darkness is not the whole story. We are reminded to remain confident and hopeful because God is still in charge, very near, and he will never abandon us. Songs today at Windemere - 10:30, Ocean View Lounge; 11:15, Lagoon View Lounge. Sunday school at St. Andrew's in Edgartown starts at 9am. All are welcome to all of the above - come on along and "make a joyful noise to the Lord."

How Can I Keep from Singing

Good crisp fall morning, the 29th Sunday of ordinary time. Today's readings remind us that the only true power comes from God and that he is trustworthy and merciful. Songs today at Windemere - Ocean View Lounge at 10:30; Lagoon View Lounge at 11:15. All are invited to come along and Make a Joyful noise and be of service to a most welcoming and appreciative group of folks. Lots of happy noise to be made also at Sunday school at St. Andrew's, Edgartown at 9am.

Annunciation

I'm behind in my writing these days, not that I don't have anything to say; but rather, I have so much to say I don't know where to begin, so I'll simply say some of it via a song I composed back in December, inspired by the readings of the day. The same Luke reading came up again yesterday for the Solemnity of the Annunciation of Our Lord, which was my inspiration for sitting down and recording it. It's about saying yes to God and trusting His plan. Not all that easy, most days. Full disclosure: still recovering from a nasty cold, so the voice is not exactly where I like it to be (but inspiration waits for no-one).
