i got to light the candle

OK, so I got picked to light the rose candle in church last week for the advent wreath, and read a passage about it.  I was so excited.

One problem. 

I couldn't read the words on the paper.

This can be very stressful. 

Another concern I had was lighting it.  I thought for sure I would light my hair on fire.

I did OK.

Whew.

I could just imagine myself freaking out when the hairspray in my hair combusted with the fire.

Things went very smooth.

I felt like a little kid that gets picked to be in the school play.

The church did not burn down and I squinted through the reading.

Merry Christmas!!

Talk later,
