I have not been able to blog lately as we have moved again, and I have not been able to get to it.We are getting better at gathering our stuff for temporary moves, but for the most part we just say, "it is in a box marked misc." Or, I go through the litany of ... in the house it was __, in the RV it was___, at the Laabs house it was ____, in the apartment it is - "probably in the storage unit in a box marked misc."
I am not complaining, it is just funny that paring down my belongings makes it harder to keep track of them than I thought it would be.
None of that has anything to with the photo of Dave and our lovely friend from Argentina, Adela Alvarez. She invited Dave to sing at their Christmas celebration. When he introduced songs, she translated in Spanish. There were stops and starts, lots of laughter. Dave is not used to pausing after each sentence.
Dave sang one of his favorite Christmas tunes, The Ten Commandments. Actually, it is not a Christmas tune at all, but Ramon Alvarez, Adela's husband, just loved that funny tune, so Dave sang it for the crowd.
The comforting realization for me that evening as we sang Silent Night, in Spanish, is that people of every nation worship Christ the King, the Lord of the Nations, who knows where everything is.
