This is the second part of the performance, and one of my favorites. That actor in the white beard -- and with the long light brown hair you can just barely see from the back as he walks down the aisle -- is my son. Plays a good old man, eh? This particular episode brought … Continue reading A Super Christmas — Act II

A Super Christmas – Act I
As I mentioned yesterday, we are in the Christmas Season. So I'm going to finish out the year with a four-part series on Christmas. This is the pageant from Avondale United Methodist Church -- a four-act pageant posted in four parts:
O Come, All Ye Faithful
This is what everyone braving the cold, and possible rain/snow will be doing today as they attend Sunday services here in Kansas City. For no matter what the weather, we, the Faithful, are Joyful and Triumphant during the Christmas season. Below is the Avondale United Methodist Church Chime Choir playing O Come All Ye Faithful … Continue reading O Come, All Ye Faithful
Baking a memory — for Grammy Robords
I was baking cookies during a vacation day on Tuesday, when a shade of Cedar Sanderson gave me a wonderful idea. I wasn't exactly baking cookies -- these were more of a cooked cookie -- and I was rolling the cookies into neat balls, admiring how they looked, when I realized I could do a … Continue reading Baking a memory — for Grammy Robords

In that movie, one of the songs is One More Sleep 'Till Christmas. Kermit, as Bob Cratchit, is singing on the way home from the office after closing up … Continue reading Only One More Sleep ‘Till Christmas

A Clean Kitchen
OKay, yesterday's project was cleaning the kitchen. I spent pretty much an entire work day's worth of time cleaning and rearranging everything in the kitchen. It is amazing all the stuff you acquire over time. That you cram into the empty corners that you don't have. And how the way you arrange things doesn't change … Continue reading A Clean Kitchen
Rise of the Guardians
This is definitely a holiday film -- not necessarily a Christmas movie. Now, by holiday film, I don't mean the type of film to play just at the holiday season. No, this film is less seasonally themed and more holiday themed. The film imagines North (Santa), Easter Bunny, Sand Man and the Tooth Fairy as … Continue reading Rise of the Guardians
#53: How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear. 2 Dear name! the Rock on which I build, My Shield and Hiding-place, My … Continue reading #53: How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds
