The 1979 Collect lightly revises and modernizes Cranmer's old 4th Advent collect and then borrows the "Stir up." It's a little late to get working on those Christmas fruit cakes!

And I must say, though I'm not of Scandinavian extraction, seeing that innocent young lady in white with candles in her hair (electric today) made it difficult to continue singing the verses of "Santa Lucia."Jim Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14104789879319429903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4381472662149763328.post-88119749370781601722015-12-02T19:22:12.436-05:002015-12-02T19:22:12.436-05:00"Actually, with the Baptists cry about a broo...<br />"Actually, with the Baptists cry about a brood of vipers I'm trying to practice articulating calling anyone an asp. . ."<br /><br />Every Baptist church in town is concerned about snakes?Jay Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01361207541690749158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4381472662149763328.post-50858010466897820172015-11-30T21:12:45.852-05:002015-11-30T21:12:45.852-05:00Anyone who has grown up Roman Catholic knows that ...Anyone who has grown up Roman Catholic knows that pink is not a Marian color.
