An Old Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Happy Leap Day!

Christmas + New Year’s + 1070 = One Happy Indy Sports Fan
December 27, 2007
The other day—I believe it was on Christmas Eve—I was driving through town and I switched the radio to 1070 WIBC to pick up some news. During the commercial break there was an announcement saying that WIBC would soon be moving over to FM 93.1 on December 26th. All the local news, weather, traffic, etc. would be moving to a new “crystal clear” FM station.

Though this comes a day late, I hope everyone has had a happy and safe holiday.
“Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendant One, and the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One. Angels, with shepherds, glorify Him. The wise men journey with the star. Since for our sake the eternal God was born as a little child.”
–Kontakion of the Feast

Apolytikion in the First Tone
In birth, you preserved your virginity; in death, you did not abandon the world, O Theotokos. As mother of life, you departed to the source of life, delivering our souls from death by your intercessions.
Kontakion in the Second Tone
Neither the grave nor death could contain the Theotokos, the unshakable hope, ever vigilant in intercession and protection. As Mother of life, He who dwelt in the ever-virginal womb transposed her to life.
