... without the Messiah...
So said the lady on the radio this morning.
OK, so she was actually talking about Handel and the way his piece 'the Messiah' has taken on far too great a role in our popular imagination, but it did make me chuckle. The irony of course is that many of us have every Christmas with plenty of Handel's Messiah and little of God's Messiah...
... and if it's true of Christmas, it's equally true of the rest of life.
But maybe not today?
