blessed Mardi Gras...

... so much is rolling around these days I nearly forgot it was Mardi Gras! My heart goes out to my friends and loved ones in Ukraine. I ache to see my grandson, Louie, who will be here next week (as part of a birthday celebration for his auntie Michal.) 

And I give thanks to all the musicians who are working SO hard on the 250th anniversary concert for First Church. Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and I hope to have my worship notes finished as the day comes to a close.
