I can't believe Advent is almost over. I've been kind of dazed, still trying to get my head around TheRev leaving.
Wasn't it just last month at the women's retreat that I was saying that what I really wanted was for things to just stay frozen for a while, to draw a little line around all the great stuff in my world and keep it safe and maybe even static for a while? Yeah, that's really working out. Sigh.
Still, I think this is what the fullness of time looks like; sometimes I can hear tiny little clicks as more and more things click into place. At any rate, there's something different about the way I'm handling the uncertainty right now. I'm not rushing to try to smash it down, I'm just kind of sitting with it, with a weird notion that I'll be able to handle whatever is going to come next. This is not like me. At. All.
Tonight was the Christmas pageant. I'm easy. Give me a herd of angels with tinsel wrapped around their heads, and a bunch of kids in various animal costumes crawling around the church, and I'm hooked.
I think that part of the lure of the pageant is the secret hope that something will go hilariously, adorably wrong, like the year we had a toddler clear out the empty manger, sending straw flying up in the air while everyone tried to stifle their giggling.
The script this year was called Not So Silent Night, and it involves a courtroom drama after the shepherds in the fields are arrested for noise voilations. I instantly began calling it Law & Order: Special Messiah Unit, which probably amused me more than it did anyone else.
If you need an earworm, I recommend the Three Wise Camels. If you don't need an earworm, well, you were warned.
