DARK


The night was very dark.
The street was very empty.
The early morning paper delivery drove by.

Dad was out walking Spenser.
He had woke us up with a bark,
He had to go out,
He had not have a long walk that day,
The sidewalk was very icy.

I am finding the news very dark with so many tragic things happening,
Fire and floods and heavy winds.
Disaster after disaster
Many people are homeless and afraid,.

The story tells us that Mary and Joseph r were to be wed.
The angel that visited Mary told her she would become pregnant,

Joseph's world became dark when she told him she was pregnant,
His thoughts became dark and angry and he felt betrayed,

He knew her life would be in danger if he rejected her,
She could be stoned to death,

He was deeply hurt and confused,
He could not sleep,
Out of the darkness of the night an angel would visit him. 
Light would penetrate his despair,
He now believed Mary
and he married her,

Jesus would tell those who would listen
He was the light of the world.

We had a quiet and happy Sunday enjoying the Gray Cup,
It was an exciting game,
.

I did not know it was Grey Cup time. Who won?

I guess the BC Lions didn't win.

Ice sidewalks don't make for safe walks.

It makes it so difficult to walk when the sidewalks are so icy. We received a huge dump of snow. It was a lot to shovel today. My firm had to close at 1pm today because an old building next to us was having some power work done..the partners were not very happy about that. We are super busy getting things done before Christmas.
