Almost a year gone by

It has been almost a year since I quit posting here. It's been exactly two years to the day since I posted the Moule article below. I started another blog, and then decided to close that one down. With all I have had to do in the last year with teaching, I've just not had the time, the leisure, the energy to keep up a blog. Plus, I'm more interested in publishing something in print. Yet, today - poking around - I find this blog is being accessed quite a bit - apparently by people searching topics and looking up some of the older articles. Well, I'm glad to see it. Perhaps I ought to keep dropping things in now and then - a recent sermon or something. I'll see. In the meantime, I'm rather up-in-the-air vocationally. I've been cut back to part-time at Chattanooga Christian for next year. I plan to start tutoring homeschool students in Latin again to help make ends meet and I hope to use my extra time to finish my Th.M. But I'll also be networking about what to do the following year; more school? pastor a church? Hm. We'll see. In the meantime, I do hope I'll have more time for reflection and writing; in which case, I'll post something now and then.

A Sea Shanty for St. Michael and All Angels

Audio of the song   “He Made the Devil Fall” - a “Sea Shanty” (Luke 10:18; Rev. 20:10) Beckmann, Feast of St. Michael and All Angels, 2023 Jesus, he came to Galilee And he made the devil fall! And called the twelve to with him be. And he made the devil fall! Refrain: He made the devil fall, my boys, He makes the devil fall! Christ the King will come again, And he’ll make the devil fall! Ho!   To them his pow'r was freely giv'n, And he made the devil fall! And Satan fell like light’ning from heav'n, And he made the devil fall!  He purged our sins; his vict'ry won! And he made the devil fall! And rose again to take his throne. And he made the devil fall!  He sent St. Michael with his sword, And he made the devil fall! And cast that dragon to the earth, And he made the devil fall!  He’ll send an angel, the devil to take And he’ll make the devil fall! And cast him into the fiery lake! And he’ll make the devil fall!

What is Evensong?

 Here are a few articles explaining the Anglican tradition of Evensong: From Ad Fontes:  https://christhum.wordpress.com/2013/11/26/liturgy-bits-a-spotters-guide-to-evensong/ Here's an article on Evensong from Classic FM:  https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/what-is-evensong-how-long-service/ The Religious News Service:  https://religionnews.com/2017/08/30/evensong-sees-a-surge-even-as-british-church-attendance-declines/ From choralevensong.org/uk:   https://www.choralevensong.org/uk/about-choral-evensong-724.php For some reason, you have to go to "Read More" to use the links. It helps to differentiate between "Evensong" proper, which is the Evening Prayer service sung by officiants and congregation, and "Choral Evensong", which is the Evening Prayer mostly sung by a choir.
