He Is God

I wish I was good.
I wish I always did what's right.
I wish I was brave.
And not afraid of darkest night.
I wish I could answer
Whatever problems come to me
And always be master
Controller of my destiny.


I want to be strong
Instead of quaking where I stand,
When something goes wrong,
I want to be in full command.
But I never can!
I try and try and always fail,
And now I know why-
Why on my own I can't prevail.


It's God that I need.
It's God who puts strength in me,
Who shows me what's right,
And leads me to my destiny.


Oh, why do we wait
And waste so much precious time?
Oh why do we walk
When God has made us for flying?


Our God shows us how.
He's given us everything.
He's hearing our prayers,
He's loving us now while we sing.


Rejoice with me now!
Rejoice and receive His love.
Before Him we bow,
To God, in the heaven above.
Rejoice with me now,
As to Him we offer all
Rejoice with me now,
As to our knees we humbly fall.


He is God.

Talk across the pond

What if...a scene from "What A Christmas!"

What if?
What if we had a little innocent contest but it got out of control and lo and behold, we have a terrible crime?


What if the crime is the accidental death of a certain unpleasant neighbor's unpleasant fowl?


What were we thinking!

A book-and-two-chats is fun about books on talk radio...across the pond.  Charming!

Bragging Rights

Grandmothers ought to have bragging rights for grandchildren especially at Christmas.  So here's the two youngest: Nathan and Rachel, 10th and 8th grades respectively, in their marching uniforms and ready to make a grand showing for JF at band competition this fall.
