Ping to this thread, and to this post containing the remarkable Ann Barnhardt “Boston Speech”, with which you are probably already familiar; but wow! Her summary of the deeper meaning of the progression of Biblical history is stunning!
If I don’t get back to you for Christmas, do have a blessed and meaningful one, dear FRiend!
Thank you hugely for this ping. I am reading with rapt interest.
Wish I had more time. Spent the day --- other than singing in the choir at the Latin Mass --- insulating our windows and sewing "draft snakes" for our doors. The weather in Upper East Tennessee is unseasonably warm right now, but frigid temperatures are a-comin; --- probably in January, like last year.
And tomorrow I have to teach a couple of RCIA students until almost noon. And then I have to work on the parish newsletter (I chore I don't always enjoy, though it's a modest opportunity to speak my piece.)
So I don't have the time to study into the subject of this thread, as much as I would like to.
God bless all y'all. Rejoice, O Daughter Zion. Shalom on the Range.
"O Key of David, and scepter of the house of Israel, who opens and no man shuts, who shuts and no man opens: come, and bring forth the captive from his prison, he who sits in darkness and in the shadow of death."
