All of it.
Time for me to hit the sack.
Poor sack.

READ: Psalm 69:29-36
I will praise the name of God with a song . . . . The humble shall see this and be glad. —Psalm 69:30,32
For several days after my husband and his brother sang a duet in church of “Be Ye Glad,” I was unable to get the lyrics by Michael Blanchard out of my mind. But they’re good words to get stuck on:
Oh, be ye glad, oh, be ye glad!
Every debt that you ever had
has been paid up in full
by the grace of the Lord.
Be ye glad, be ye glad, be ye glad!
Ancient Israel’s beloved songwriter and king often wrote about gladness. In three consecutive songs, David spoke of being glad: Psalms 68:3; 69:32; 70:4. His lyrics assure us that it’s not the rich or the powerful who have reason to be glad but those who are humble and right with God.
David expanded on this theme in another song: “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. . . . Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous; and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!” (32:1,11).
If you are feeling poor and powerless today, you can still be glad. You can have something of far more value: a debt-free relationship with God.
When we stop defending our own sinful ways and humbly acknowledge that God’s ways are right, true gladness will spring forth in songs of glorious praise.
Bible in One Year: Bible in One Year: Psalms 87-88; Romans 13
Hugs!
Feeling better, thanks!
Hey!!
She has prepared a wonderful THANK YOU and a photo thingy and all that to give you to thank you for this WONDERFUL thread, but she can't get here to do it.
Dolly may be able to get here later, but hasn't a clue as to when, so I'm conveying this message (which came by phone) to you.
btw, the King Kong article is AWESOME! Thanks from me..........an old movie buff.
(It was the Hayes Act that kept the clothes peeling scene from being shown, I'll bet......)
Hey!!
Okay, thanks for the info.
She doesn't have a good photo of me, but that may be because there's no such thing, lol.
Well, I'm glad you enjoyed the article. I wasn't entirely sure how people would respond (unusual topic) but so far it's been overall positive.
We're so busy getting stuff ready for a farewell party after church that I haven't had time do to much geeking. Did I miss anything?
I always love finding out what ended up on the cutting room floor, especially in old movies.
And King Kong '33 has got to be one of the genuinely scariest movies ever made.
No, not much.
It's especially interesting because, as I mentioned, back then they didn't have DVDs with extended "Director's cuts" or deleted scenes. Most things cut out from old movies ended up destroyed or lost.
Oh, look who's trying to quietly sneak in!
