"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Some of my favorites. But sadly, my security settings will not allow this link to come on. It’s all that newer crap Windows downloaded as ‘updates’.

What Do We Want?
June 7, 2014
Read: Psalm 73:1-3,21-28
My friend Mary tells me that she doesnt always sing all the words to the hymns and choruses in a church service. She says, It doesnt seem honest to sing, All I want is Jesus when my heart wants many other things too. I appreciate her honesty.
In verse 25 of Psalm 73, Asaph sounds like a spiritually minded man who wants God only: There is none upon earth that I desire besides You. But thats not how he began this psalm. Initially, he admitted that he wanted the prosperity that others around him had: For I was envious of the boastful (v.3). But when he drew near to God, he recognized that he was foolish to be envious (vv.21-22,28).
Even when we know God, we are often distracted by the prosperity of others. C. S. Lewis wrote, It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. . . . We are far too easily pleased with lesser things than Him.
What do we learn about God in this psalm that might help when our desires distract us from Gods best? Well, we see that even though we may be tempted to envy what others have, He is continually guiding us and bringing us back to focus on Him. He is the strength of my heart and my portion forever (v.26).
Lord, we do believe that You are the place where
true satisfaction is found. But were weak and sinful
and easily distracted from Your best. Teach us to
draw near to You, and may You, in turn, draw near to us.
A daily dose of Gods wisdom will heal the heart disease of envy.
Todays psalm deals with an ancient and perplexing problem: Why do the wicked seem to prosper while those who seek to obey God suffer adversity? In Job, we read of the prosperous wicked who have nothing but contempt for God: Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? (Job 21:15). This contradiction has troubled believers in every generation. Yet the psalmist ultimately realizes that temporal prosperity cannot be compared to divine guidance now and eternal glory in the next life. You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory (Ps. 73:23-24).

YOUR HIT PARADE: 1944Today the shelf life of a hit record on the charts is measured in weeks. Seventy years ago it could be measured in months. Thats why its so hard to pin down the exact chart standings of June 6, 1944. To simplify matters, Im going to play the Top 20 of 1944 to show what our parents and for some, grandparents were listening to during World War II. But first a word from our sponsor.

#20 Harry James & His Orchestra: CherryHarry James (1916-83) was born in Albany, Georgia, the son of a bandleader in a traveling circus. His mother was an acrobat and horseback rider. By 10 he was taking trumpet lessons from his father.
In 1931 his family settled in Beaumont, Texas. It was here at 15 that Harry began playing in local dance bands. By 1937 he joined Benny Goodmans orchestra, where he stayed through 1938. He was nicknamed The Hawk early in his career for his ability to sight-read. A common joke was that if a fly landed on his score, Harry would play it. His low range had a wonderful warmth, but this sound was largely ignored in favor of his brilliant high register.
In January 1939, Harry debuted his own big band in Philadelphia, but it didnt click until 1941 when he added a string section. His was the first band to employ Frank Sinatra. He wanted to change Sinatras name to Frankie Satin, but Sinatra told him where to go. His later band included drummer Buddy Rich.
His orchestra succeeded Glenn Millers radio program in 1942 when Miller disbanded his orchestra to enter the Army.

Try right-clicking a link. If Windows 7 then you should get a rectangle on the bottom of the screen asking open or save.
