The Story of Christmas
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore wotness about him, and cried out, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.' ") And from his fullness we have all received grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.
Thanks be to God!

Happy New Year for yesterday
This is so ridiculous! The Festival Theatre website said it had e-mailed my password to my e-mail address, but it hasn't! Grrr.
My brother called this morning while I was still in bed, and I as the phone rang I thought 'it's Susie calling to ask me to supper, as it's Friday', and then I realised it wasn't Friday, it's Wednesday. Wednesday was a concept too remote from my life. What the heck is Wednesday? There's no such thing as Wednesday. This is what you think before you are fully awake.
