But, more thank helping me out .... I hope these lyrics from that song will be an encouragement to you ... the song is a love song and the believer's testimony ... one many of us share :-)
You Came Along (listen)
John 5:8; John 3:1-17
Written by Mac Powell and Chris Carder
Thought I was fine and I knew all the answers
Sure that I was doing everything right
You came and opened my eyes to a different light
Just like a fool taking all things for granted
Living my life thinking I had it all
Didn’t know I was so wrong till I heard You call
You came along and You wanted to save me
It was all wrong but You made it all right
Gave me a hope that I needed
but never had known
Didn’t know love
until You came along
I was a ship in a storm on the ocean
Lost and not knowing which way I should go
You shined Your light in the dark and then led me home.
You came along and You wanted to save me
It was all wrong but You made it all right
Gave me a hope that I needed
but never had known
Didn’t know love
until You came along

Hey I will be giving away a song off my Cd, Trust. The song is 'Shoebox' and the giveaway is to encourage others to partner with Operation Christmas Child, Franklin Graham's ministry that sends millions of 'goodie-packed' shoeboxes to children all over the world for Christmas. Why not give someone who will never know you a present that will change their lives? Invest a little of yourself in a needy child.
A buddy of mine, Amos Dettonville, shared this video with me today. Absolutely amazing. I dunno if it is real, but it sure does look it. Kind of reminds me of what happened in the elections last week. Is that a Honda?

Well, we are off today to get the annual Christmas photo....I will try to post it as soon as we get it. But needless to say, the 'Merry Christmas' season is upon us and it is a great lift after a lousy congress turnaround. We will not be in the same position next year to share gifts if the Dems get their ways! Merry Christmas, America.

Psalm 139 has always been one of my favorite passages in the Holy Scriptures. And from previous entries I have expounded on various verses of that song. Today's focus: Psalm 139:17,18.
17 How precious to me are Your thoughts,
O God! How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them, they would
outnumber the grains of sand....
When I awake, I am still with You.
The entire psalm is describing the intricate way that God is involved in our lives. He searches us, He knows us. He knows where we go during the day and where we lay our heads at night. Even before we speak, He knows what we are going to say. He is our Creator and has full knowledge of how we behave and work, why we grieve or hurt, when we stand and when we fall.
Then we get to these two special verses that reminds us that God is thinking about us always. He did not create this world and then 'fly off to another galaxy' to do some other work. He is always thinking about us. His thoughts to us can not be numbered. You might as well start counting the grains of sand in the entire world....absolutely impossible. We weary and have to fall asleep at night to regain our strength....but He never sleeps nor slumbers. When we wake up, we are still with Him.
Whatever you or I have to endure in this life, we are assured that Jesus walks every step with us and is constantly, with His still quiet voice, loving on us and pouring out His encouragement on us. He breathed life into us and continues to move us by His Spirit....as we allow Him to do so.
