A CHRISTMAS HYMN *

* "Joy to the World," Sts. 1 & 4, LW #53

"Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive its King; Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room And heav'n & nature sing, And heav'n & nature sing, And heav'n, & heav'n & nature sing.

"He rules the world with truth & grace And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, wonders of His love."

LET IT SNOW, LET IS SNOW, LET IT SNOW

Sometime during the night it started to snow. Norfolk is in a winter storm warning. We're supposed to receive 3-5" of snow before the end of today. Our son-in-law is no longer working for his father's construction company, so he no longer has access to snow removal equipment. Bummer.

CRIMINAL MINDS

"A Long Island man has been arrested after a Christmas morning crime spree that gave new meaning to the term doorbuster. It happened shortly before 2 a.m., Suffolk County police said, when Justin Shuffle stole a 2010 Bobcat skid loader, which is used to push snow, from a Bay Shore shopping center,. He then crashed the mini-snow plow through the front doors of a nearby Target."  Norfolk Daily News, 12/26
