Glad you liked it. :)
I’ve always been partial to “Poor Wayfaring Stranger” myself, “I’m going there to see my Savior, Who shed for me His precious blood.”
Never heard it in Sacred Harp, though. I’ll have to see if it’s on Youtube.
Mine is “Mansion on a Hilltop”
Every time we sing it in church I believe I can hear my wife singing right along with me . . . ah, sweet memories!
I’ve just embarked on a second “career”, taking early retirement from a great company, and going to another great place. Getting a new salary, taking the “reduced” payout from my old-fashioned pension, my wife retiring, staying home, and doing the same, has financially worked out great so far.
The combination of my former company’s reputation, my background experience, and my gray hair have given me a good head-start on the “perceived wisdom” scale. It’s great to have people listen to what I have to say again.
I’m not sure how it would pan out if I didn’t have a job to go to... My wife and I might be at each other’s throats!
“I want to return to Africa as a missionary.”
GOOD FOR YOU!
God Bless.
I’m sorry for your loss. Some years back I almost lost mine, but God and some fine doctors, kept her with me. So I have a small idea of where you were and are. God bless you. I know she’s waiting for yo.
God bless!
God bless!
Wife and I retired 13 yrs ago at 57 yoa.Sometimes it seems there isn’t enough time in the day.Major perk is flying cheapest fares in middle of week.
I used to work with young Airmen at a USAF base just south of Canada. A kid actually asked a question like that once. So I made it a point to tell them the Canadians have 10 hour days with 100 minutes to the hour etc etc. Some of them actually bought it.
My favorite was a picture on a wall of a tanker refueling a B52 that had the fuel pipe going from the back of the tanker to the B52. I told them that was a tow bar because the B52’s were such pigs they had trouble flying with a full load.
We’d watch B52’s take off, and they’d put out huge black clouds of smoke. I told the kids that each engine was connected to a set of wheels, the pilot revved up each engine, dumped all the clutches, and the tires squealing caused all the smoke.
The Movie “ Cold Mountain” has that song.
Plenty of other Great Music!
Yes, but there are many other recording of this song and many others on youtube. Just search “Sacred Heart”
I would hope you would will understand that I encourage and will continue to encourage all to appreciate God’s gift to us and give thanks for it.
Thanks...
Will try That.
Love it. Some people see that as “mean”, but I’ve always thought it was a good way to demonstrate to youngsters that they always have to think for themselves, as opposed to just believing what they are told.
Oh, that the youngsters in school now could be taught that...
Have a great weekend, and thanks for your service.
Let me know how you like them. sacred Heart seems to be something of an acquired taste for many people. :)
The Point is that in Heaven
“The Redeemed “ will sing...
Angels can’t.
