More Carols...Less Cowbell

Our family went carroling the other night and we had an awesome time. I am afraid it is quickly becoming a lost art in these days. As we were singing Joy to the World, I was struck at the words. Joy to the worldthe Lord is come. Let heaven and nature sing. In my studies recently have brought me back to the announcement of our Lord to the shepards. The Bible tells us that an army of angels showed up. On the night Christ was born, heaven and earth stopped to rejoice at the coming of our Lord. The universe stopped to sing praise. In a culture that seems to scream more cowbell, I was glad to sing songs of praise that celebrate that our Lord has come, and come to save.
