Hymns from Ninevah: “Endurance at Christmas Time”

I know nearly nothing about these guys except that (1) they’re from Denmark and (2) their new Christmas/Advent album is already one of my favorites ever. (A Sufjan killer?  I think maybe!) Having already puked today from reading the endless unnecessary superlatives in the Pitchfork Top 50 albums reviews, I won’t say anymore about it except get it.

Thankful for a Home

My daughter is just old enough now that she often offers up her own prayers at dinner and at bedtime.  You’d be amazed what you learn about prayer from a three-year-old.  The first time she prayed for many things.  But one thing stuck out.  ”God, thank you for our house.”  Our house?  I never thank God for that.  Never.  And yet my house is absolutely a gift from God.
