An unexpected weeknight connection brought me such joy.
Spirituality, friendship, fellowship and a peek at a turtle pond was part of
the deal.
A friend of a friend invited me to the home of a
neighbor I don’t know. Traveling Eucharist was the blessed occasion. People of
St. Mark’s Episcopal Church brought a chalice and accoutrement to a home and
celebrated with prayer. The host family made all feel welcome and I saw people
I knew from around the county. They do it all the time! What a special way to
unite and share good company.
Let us bless the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Spiritual Sounds – Pop by Museum of the Gulf Coast’s gift shop for “Hymns:
Timeless Classics.” Opera singer Carol Wyatt was recently inducted into the
museum’s music hall of fame. Hear her amazing voice uplifting listeners to “How
Great Thou Art” and “It is So Sweet to Trust in Jesus.” It will be well with
your soul. Here is just a small part of her background on the MOGC site:
In the seventies and eighties, she was one of the most
sought-after mezzo-sopranos in Germany and other European countries. Carol
Wyatt had extensive guest contracts with the Hamburg State Opera, the Deutsche
Oper Berlin, the Opera Houses Cologne and Düsseldorf-Duisburg, she was a guest
at the Munich State Opera, in Stuttgart, Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Hannover… For
more than twenty years she was a principal soloist with the Deutsch Oper
Berlin.
Thanks for Shrimp, Jesus! –
Let’s round this spiritual theme out with a peek from “The Fruit of the Spirit,”
a 2001 cookbook I found on my mom’s shelves. I found a range of shrimp recipes
in this book from Eastgate United Pentecostal Church in Vidor. Each one called
for 2 cans of shrimp.
From there variations included:
* A pint of Kraft mayo, green onions and cream cheese
* Cream Cheese, mayo, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce
* 1 can golden mushroom soup, cream cheese green onions
Times have changed, but I’d still eat these at a church party.
Bless us one and all.
