Lots of Alleluias

Tomorrow is the last Sunday in a while when you'll sing the Gloria or hear any "Alleluia"'s. Sing 'em lustily folks, 'cause if you're anything like me, you're going to miss them.

And my homemaking advice for the next four days? Well, chores always goes better when you sing, so for the next half week, sing all the hymns with "alleluia" in them that you can think of. (Except, perhaps, "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today", save that for Easter.)

Some of my favorites? "Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending", "Alleluia! Sing to Jesus!" and "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence", which, for some reason, our organist plays during Lent despite the "Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, Lord Most High" at the end.

Not that I'm complaining! Sometimes the Alleluia Fast seems like the hardest one of all!

peace of Christ to you,
Jessica
