... If you've never had a "Coke
Cake", you really do need to try it!! I'm not sure if this is a local
thing or not... I just remember Mom makin' it when I was a kid. I'm not
a big cake fan, but this one is so moist and the icing is just
irresistible. I hope you get a chance to try it. |

From My Friend, Tammy, of UT - 12/05/14 - "Daily Christmas Story (#5 in a Series of 24)":
This year I decided to
share some of my favorite Christmas stories and quotes. It is a
tradition in our family to read a Christmas story every night in
December culminating with the Nativity on the 24th.
Christmas Story Day 5, Thoughts on Mary by Jeffrey R. Holland |
I’ve thought of Mary, too,
this most favored mortal woman in the history of the world, who as a
mere child received an angel who uttered to her those words that would
change the course not only of her own life but also that of all human
history: “Hail, thou virgin, who art highly favoured of the Lord. The
Lord is with thee; for thou art chosen and blessed among women.” (JST,
Luke 1:28.) The nature of her spirit and the depth of her preparation
were revealed in a response that shows both innocence and maturity:
“Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.”
(Luke 1:38.) It is here I stumble, here that I grasp for the feelings a mother has when she knows she has conceived a living soul, feels life quicken and grow within her womb, and carries a child to delivery. At such times fathers stand aside and watch, but mothers feel and never forget. Again, I’ve thought of Luke’s careful phrasing about that holy night in Bethlehem: “The days were accomplished that she should be delivered. “And she brought forth her firstborn son, and [she] wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and [she] laid him in a manger.” (Luke 2:6–7; italics added.) Those brief pronouns trumpet in our ears that, second only to the child himself, Mary is the chiefest figure, the regal queen, mother of mothers—holding center stage in this grandest of all dramatic moments. And those same pronouns also trumpet that, save for her beloved husband, she was very much alone. I have wondered if this young woman, something of a child herself, here bearing her first baby, might have wished her mother, or an aunt, or her sister, or a friend, to be near her through the labor. Surely the birth of such a son as this should command the aid and attention of every midwife in Judea! We all might wish that someone could have held her hand, cooled her brow, and when the ordeal was over, given her rest in crisp, cool linen. But it was not to be so. With only Joseph’s inexperienced assistance, she herself brought forth her firstborn son, wrapped him in the little clothes she had knowingly brought on her journey, and perhaps laid him on a pillow of hay. At this focal point of all human history, a point illuminated by a new star in the heavens revealed for just such a purpose, probably no other mortal watched—none but a poor young carpenter, a beautiful virgin mother, and silent stabled animals who had not the power to utter the sacredness they had seen. Shepherds would soon arrive and later, wise men from the East. Later yet the memory of that night would bring Santa Claus and Frosty and Rudolph—and all would be welcome. But first and forever there was just a little family, without toys or trees or tinsel. With a baby—that’s how Christmas began. It is for this baby that we shout in chorus: “Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn king! … Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die: Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.” |
Thank you so
very much, Tammy!

description.
She said, "He's 35 years old, 6 foot 4, has dark eyes, dark wavy
hair, an athletic build, weighs 185 pounds, is soft-spoken, and is good
to the children." |

Sleep, Holy Babe
Lyrics by Fr. Edward Caswall (15 July 1814 - 02 Jan 1878)
Melody adapted from Louise Reichardt (11 Apr 1779 - 17 Nov 1826), 1826
Sleep, Holy Babe,
Upon Thy Mother's breast.
Great Lord of earth and sea and sky,
How sweet it is to see Thee lie
In such a place of rest.
Sleep, Holy Babe, Thine angels watch around;
All bending low with folded wings
Before th'Incarnate King of kings,
In rev'rent awe profound.
Sleep, Holy Babe, While I with Mary gaze
In joy upon Thy face awhile,
Upon the loving Infant smile,
Which there divinely plays.
Sleep, Holy Babe, O take Thy brief repose!
Too quickly will Thy slumbers break,
And Thou to lengthen'd pains awake,
That death alone shall close.
