These days of winter have come to bury you
No sign of spring and no promise to carry you
No flowers blooming in your window sill
And the beat of your heart is too still...
And the beat of your heart is too still...Oh sing
Joy joy joy in the morning
Joy joy in the afternoon
Joy joy joy for the child is born
This night the promise is given to you"

On Sunday night Chelsea, Jessica and McKenna danced their way into the Christmas Overture. It was lovely, surprising and gracious. So, in the same space that the concert took place, I officiated at a funeral on Monday. Later on today in that same space there will be a couple get married who stand with his two sons from a previous marriage. On Thursday evening, Christmas Eve, we will gather around the manger and rejoice in the gift of the Christ Child who makes all things new.
We are all part of a larger dance. The rhythms might change, the steps may get switched around, but we're in this holy hoe-down together.
Dance joy and sing joy
