At the NPM convention, as always, there was a festive breakfast Thursday morning at which awards and scholarships were given out.
Here’s this year’s “opening hymn” (so to speak) at the breakfast, compliments of Alan Hommerding from WLP. Sing it to get the full effect.
Delightful!
Cue comments lacking a sense of humor in 3… 2… 1…
Whoa, Adam, not just yet!
Awesome, Mssr. Hommerding!
Adam, could you email me?

I’m sorry I missed that occasion, I would have been roaring with laughter. Thanks for the laugh.
Terrible. This is not part of the solution, ergo…
The corrected Latin underneath the title is a nice touch. Well done, Alan!
Coming next year . . .
“Incense that rises and kneelers for kneeling;
Well-crafted sermons and prayers that bring healing;
Priests who can chant and a parish that sings.
These are a few of my favorite things . . .”
How do you stop the problem? You don’t translate.
Probably best he didn’t play around with flibberti-… er, …gibbet.
As a matter of fact, Pat, an unnecessary (and, therefore, deleted) third stanza did include “gibbet” and “consubstantial” and the line that convinced me to stop working on it:
” ‘Morning Has Broken’ is the place for dewfall.”
Alan – thanks for a good chuckle and a laugh. Being among those who are “slightly” irreverent, I would love to hear your deleted third verse.
This was absolutely wonderful. I agree that perhaps the translation should have not been tampered with. Keep the great songs coming we need some humor during this time….
