Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Ev'ry valley shall be exalted, and ev'ry mountain and hill made low; the crooked straight and the rough places plain.
- Handel, from Isaiah 40:1-4. Go here to listen.

I missed that earlier post...wonderful music. I love having an Advent season.
I keep singing bits of it at work ... "the crooked straight, the crooked straight, and the rough places plain, and the rough places plain. The rough places plain, the crooked straight, and the rough places plain."
