Boston just kicked the crap out of St. Louis, beating them 3-0 to win the World Series in 4 straight games.
Pensive Jen
I’m not depressed — just really pensive about some things and this song describes how I’m feeling in a lot of ways.
Well, sometimes my life just donâ????t make sense at all
When the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small
So hold me Jesus, â??˜cause Iâ????m shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Wonâ????t You be my Prince of Peace
And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
Itâ????s so hot inside my soul
I swear there must be blisters on my heart
So hold me Jesus, â??˜cause Iâ????m shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Wonâ????t You be my Prince of Peace
Surrender donâ????t come natural to me
Iâ????d rather fight You for something I donâ????t really want
Than to take what You give that I need
And Iâ????ve beat my head against so many walls
Now Iâ????m falling down, Iâ????m falling on my knees
And this Salvation Army band is playing this hymn
And Your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin
Iâ????m singing hold me Jesus, â??˜cause Iâ????m shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Wonâ????t You be my Prince of Peace
You have been King of my glory
Wonâ????t You be my Prince of Peace
â????”Hold Me Jesusâ??? by Rich Mullins
You Know You’re A Lutheran Church Musician…
when you are drafted to play for Midweek Advent services and you start figuring out hymn arrangements you can compose for your prelude, offertory, and postlude.
(I spent my healthy walk today dissecting “O Come O Come Emmanuel”.)
Crocheted Bandages
This morning was Mission Sunday at Jon’s churches and our speaker was from Global Health Ministries. It was an interesting sermon with great stories and when I was perusing his display, I saw a handout on knitted and crocheted bandages. Apparently, these can be used in tropical situations where you’ve got people with leprosy or ulcers on their bodies to cushion the area and protect any dressing that’s been applied.
I have some of the brochures and I can email you the info if you’re interested. It can be a Lenten project (instead of giving up chocolate or something else) or it could be a 4-H or youth group project.
UW vs. USC Game
OK Dawgs… could we like kick a field goal or something so that we’re not completely shut out by USC? I mean… they’re kicking your butts 31-0 and that’s to be expected, but you could at least score a measly 3 points by kicking a ball through a goalpost!
