Midnight greets Sylvia
That’s the view out our office window. Thursday morning, the contractor is coming to replace the two office windows and two windows in the basement.
We’re excited and glad to begin the process of replacing windows. Later this year, we’ll replace more. For now, this will get us started.
I’ll be back later. I’m shutting down the computer in anticipation of their visit.
Magi followed the star
Today, January 6, is Epiphany — the day we celebrate the visit of the magi to the Christ child. It is also the twelfth day of Christmas.
Five hundred years earlier, Daniel and his companions, were taken in captivity to Babylon. There these fellows rose to high rank among the wise men of that empire. Daniel was elevated to a position of leadership in three empires.
I’ve often wondered if the magi mentioned in Matthew had learned from Hebrew scriptures and the teachings of Daniel. It makes sense to me.
Today marks the end of the Christmas season at our house. Soon the decorations will come down and family pictures will once again grace the mantle.
