Today's "Starry Night" tie aligns with my solo at Richmond First United Methodist Church, "Watchman, Tell Us Of The Night." The lyrics form a dialogue between the watchman (from Isaiah 21) and "travelers" seeking any signs of hope, deliverance and peace. The watchman calls attention to a Star rising into the sky and then "bursting" its light over all the earth. This is the Twelfth Day of Christmas, and tonight is "Twelfth Night," signaling the opening of Epiphany, the Season of Light.
