I remember once during Christmas mass, we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus led by the priest. Instead of the normal We wish you a merry christmas. I think that's proper considering we're celebrating his birth into our world after all.

Thought I share something I saw in imgur.com

I'm just re-reading the Gospel again from the online Gullah bible. Reading out loud really brings character though most of my pronounciation is wrong I think. Its like the bible re-written into an old folk story. You should try it

Gullah bible



“Ain nobody able fa saab two massa. Ef ya try fa do dat, ya gwine hate one an lob de oda one. Ya gwine be true ta one an hole de oda one cheap. Ya ain able fa saab God an be a slabe ta money same time."

Roughly I would say " Ain't nobody able for serve(saab) 2 masters (mastas). If ya try fa (to) do dat, ya gonna hate one and lob ( love) the othe one. Ya gonna be true ta one and hold the other one cheap, ya ain't able fa (to) saab (serve) God and be slable ( able) ta money same time." reading that out loud almost made me laugh to myself. It's like a rap song when reading out loud.

John 1:5

"De light da shine een de daak, an de daak ain neba been able fa pit out dat light."
