Oh, I'm so glad. Drama elseweb has me thinking this week must be a tough one. So am glad the Ode was Joyful.

If you see your liturgy-composing friend, feel free to pass on my appreciation. I have the greatest of respect for liturgy writers...they have to compose things that mean something and are pretty and easy to follow along with, in a rhythmic sort of way. It must be somewhat nervewracking working on something you know will be used by so many people. Anyway--yes. Please thank them for me, should you think of it.
