Welcome to this blog. It contains my thoughts on our efforts to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. My current update schedule is once a week as time permits. Thank you for reading.
The hymn "For All The Saints" is traditionally sung on All Saints Day, coming soon on the calendar. I have an additional verse that I wrote and privately use in devotions in memory of loved ones now gone. I'd like to share that verse here:
For all the loved ones lost throughout the years
The struggling saints, their mem'ries washed with tears
Your steadfast mercy banishes our fears
Alleluia! Alleluia!
This year's "loved ones, lost" includes fellow blogger Joseph Hinman.
There was a song sung by my Christian college group, "Lord, you are ... ". I always liked that song and have kept it as part of my devotions over the years. I've added a new verse, privately, and thought I might put it here:
Lord, you are wisdom's truest treasure
Seeking you rekindles our hope
Loving you refills our hearts full measure
Our hearts are restless til they rest in you
For those familiar: Yes, that last line is based on St Augustine.
