Third Sunday of Advent -Joy! and Sorrow

Today is the third Sunday of Advent.  The Sunday of Joy!  This is the song you would hear if you came to church with me.

It's hard to feel joy today.  We buried Colin's Mom yesterday.  It was such a sudden, unexpected shock, we're all kind of numb today.  I know we should feel joy.  It's like Colin says 'if Mom doesn't get into Heaven, there's no hope for any of us'.  So we will try to celebrate with joy this Sunday.  It's what Mom would have wanted.
