Third Sunday of Advent today. Christmas party at Mark and Betsy's last night. Dale and I both had a great time. It was a big music Sunday at church this morning. I sang with the choir but we also heard from our bell choir, our children's choir, and a string quartet. Dale and I had brunch at The Lowbrow afterward.

Advent

Earth grown old, yet still so green,

  Deep beneath her crust of cold

Nurses fire unfelt, unseen:

  Earth grown old.

  We who live are quickly told: 

Millions more lie hid between

  Inner swathings of her fold. 

When will fire break up her screen?

  When will life burst thro' her mould?

Earth, earth, earth, thy cold is keen,

  Earth grown old. 

                                 -Christina Rossetti
