A Joyous Season begins....


Last night the Lansing Stake had an event prior to the Salt Lake First Presidency Devotional. It included many choir numbers celebrating our Savior's birth, performed by the Childrens Choir, the Youth Choir, and the Adult Choir. It was excellent, accompanied by a pastoral symphony comprised of organ, piano, flute, oboe, cello, viola and violin. We have some amazing musical talent in our Ward among the MSU students. There was also a display of many creche's and, finally, a living nativity by the University Ward. What a great way to start this season of gratitude for the birth of the Savior. btw that is a real live baby being held by Mary...he was calm and restful for the entire presentation!
When Karen and I headed out for our morning walk, about 7 AM, it was "24 degrees, feels like 13". That's code for adding in the wind chill (locals call it "lake effect") factor. We made it about a mile and decided it was time to get smart. Brrrrr!
