Katie's prayer: Stacie Orrico's "O Come, All Ye Faithful"

The last line of today’s song really stuck out to me - though it never has before. Every time that I have sung along to this song, I thought she said “Born to love were me and you.” While looking up lyrics, the website said “Home to love for me and you.” I thought that was a little weird, number one cause the sentence doesn’t really make sense with the rest of the song, or at all really. So I continued to search. Came across “Brought to love for me and you.” Sentence makes better sense, but not with the rest of the song. Then I came across “Born to love for me and you.” Starting to think this is little ridiculous, pause to really listen to that part of the song. Still I hear nothing but my original “Born to love were me and you.” Went to about 20 different places and only came up with three versions - none of them mine. And since all of this started at the beginning of my prayer time, it’s the only thing I can think about now when I listen to the song.

*Insert Transition Here* (: This year, I decided to pray Christmas songs until the end of the Christmas liturgical season. I had always thought of the Epiphany as the end of that season. When I started it on Christmas, I looked up the official end - Baptism of our Lord. A few days ago, I realized that date wasn’t until the 10th. Surely the Christmas season didn’t go until January 10th! I wanted to get the correct answer, partially for this blog and partially for my own knowledge. Ran across something that said it was the Epiphany. Somewhere else said it was shortly after the Epiphany but before the Baptism. Multiple different answers. Finally tonight, I got the correct answer. I finally found one of those circle liturgical calendars. Apparently it’s Christmas Season until the Baptism, like I originally found - but not originally believed.

Maybe not everything is as I believe it is. Something for me to remember as I go back to work later this week - a place where I get caught in that “I’m right” attitude way too often.
