He is Risen

NOW AFTER the Sabbath, near dawn of the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to take a look at the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled the boulder back and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning, and his garments as white as snow. And those keeping guard were so frightened at the sight of him that they were agitated and they trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, Do not be alarmed and frightened, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, Who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, as He said [He would do]. Come, see the place where He lay. (Matthew 26:1-6)

Merry Christmas

Caturday Night Special, Episode 0x45

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. Of course, it's not for a few days yet, but this is official notice, as I'm likely to be up to my elbows in brine and raw turkey very soon, and the list of things-to-have-been-done-yesterday is always full.

Sublimity

Now, this might be coming from a biased position, as I already love Corelli, but this particular concerto stirs something deep within my soul.

Incidentally, in comparison to other cultures, this is merely one of the areas where Western Civilization shines brighter than a thousand suns. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, Corelli, Dvorak, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Debussy, Handel, Strauss, Liszt, Vivaldi, Verdi...

Bring it.

Happy Thanksgiving

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Psalms 23:1-6

May your day be filled with joy. That is all.
