Today was the Berkeley Half Marathon. There were street closures galore, and in fact, the race course went along the side of our house. (We live on a corner lot, and the front door faces a cul-de-sac).
So Mark and I had to plan where to park last night, because the garage and front were blocked by the street closures, and we both had things to do today.
My Parish, St Marks Berkeley, is located inside the circular course of the Half Marathon, so getting there was going to be a challenge. The start and finish of the race was 4 blocks from Church, making it even harder to get from home to Church.
Not surprising, many of our parishioners skipped church because they couldn't get there from here.
But even with these challenges, God's infinite love manifested itself in musical humor. The final hymn was "Ye Holy Angels Bright."
I wonder if our Music director thought about verse 2 for today when picking the hymns?
Ye blessed souls at rest,
who ran this earthly race
and now, from sin released,
behold your Savior's face,
his praises sound,
as in his sight
with sweet delight
ye do abound.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow - humorous or serious.
