advent venture - dec 9

 

i saw this book on Design Mom and requested it for Christmas.  my m-i-l gave to me already, thanks mindy!  

not surprised that it's not exactly presbyterian (Design Mom is lds), but it is so worshipful!  i love love love the title.  and this part about Joseph's response to Mary's pregnancy:

Now Mary be new wife for Joseph

And Joseph ain't touch Mary self

So first time Joseph vex.

But God say,

     "Nev mind, Joseph,

     This be God palaver."

     And Joseph heart lay down. 

[palaver is a very interesting word, here loosely means business, work]

advent venture

Joseph heart lay down.
