Stones Or Gems

There’s a road called life
We each walk every day
And sometimes we encounter
Stones left in our way.
Left by a careless traveler,
They sometimes cause us to fall,
Then down on our knees
In Jesus name we call.
He gently picks us up
Saying, " Child can’t you see?
You can remove the stones
By always following Me.
And you can leave stones
For others to find
Or you can leave gems
Each one of a kind.
For you are the stones
Or you are gems rare,
It all depends on you
If for others you care."
So, polish your gems
And spread them wide,
You'll leave no stones
With Jesus by your side.

Focus

Keep the faith and hang in there,
We need you, don’t lose sight.
Your support and yes your vote,
Will make this come out right.
It’s early yet but time moves fast,
So please don’t wait too long.
Let’s pull together once again,
To keep our country strong.
Kerry, Clark, or Howard Dean,
Who knows which one will be.
The one the democrats will pick,
To be their nominee.
The lucky winner gets to run,
A race he must not win.
Yes come November Oh Oh Four,
George Bush it is again!

Did you post them on the old thread after you saw the church?

I started to ask why you were still awake, then realized it is only 3:00am. LOL

I suppose nuking Osama Bin Laden doesn't fall under Christian Thoughts?

I haven't been to church or studied scripture in any big way since I was a child, though, so I may be wrong.

I think thoughts of nuking Osama Bin Laden may be overlooked. Now ..... I may be wrong. :)

Good evening, Jacqui. Did you pick up your bag in the lost and found department? I put your name on it! :)

Blowing Osama to bits isn't a christian thought but I hope God understands :) Well at least as much as God understands my bromides directed at the stupid people of the world (and men who cheat!)

Thankyou!

FReeper ID seemed to work... because I certainly don't have anything "official" (Health Care Card, Drivers Licence, passport, VISA card, etc) with anything but my real name - Fiona Fort/Van Loon - on it...

I'm going to bed... it's waaaaaaay past my bedtime. There's something very wrong about 100,000 freepers knowing my bedtime and not some young snotnose from college!

The Church in the Wildwood

There’s a church in the valley by the wildwood,
No lovelier spot in the dale;
No place is so dear to my childhood,
As the little brown church in the vale.

Refrain

Come to the church in the wildwood,
Oh, come to the church in the dale,
No spot is so dear to my childhood,
As the little brown church in the vale.

How sweet on a clear, Sabbath morning,
To list to the clear ringing bell;
Its tones so sweetly are calling,
Oh, come to the church in the vale.

Refrain

There, close by the church in the valley,
Lies one that I loved so well;
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, ’neath the willow,
Disturb not her rest in the vale.

Refrain

There, close by the side of that loved one,
To trees where the wild flowers bloom,
When the farewell hymn shall be chanted
I shall rest by her side in the tomb.

Refrain

From the church in the valley by the wildwood,
When day fades away into night,
I would fain from this spot of my childhood
Wing my way to the mansions of light.

Refrain

Words & Music by William S. Pitts, 1857

   SPRUNG

spring is here again at last 
but I never heard the door
clandestine in it's arrival
like the tide upon the shore

so quietly spring entered
no fanfare and no fray
yet I have noticed that the sun
dawns earlier each day

the weather may not show it
and the temperatures deny
but the flowers pushing through the snow
know that calendars don't lie

I do not hate the winter
yet to it I wont cling
but families 'round the fireplace
is no substitute for spring
