The last thing I do on this blog, each night, is to load a hymn for the morning. This is an old Sunday school favorite–What a Friend We Have in Jesus–and I couldn’t resist the image of the flowing stream: I used to know places like that. Something to take to the Lord in prayer…
I have lived in Metuchen, NJ, all my life. I have been married to my wife Patricia since 1977. I am a former newspaper editor and reporter. I was also the owner-operator of my own small business for several years. I wrote various novels and short stories published during 1980s and 1990s. I am a long-time student of judo and Japanese swordsmanship (kenjutsu). I also play chess, basketball, and military and sports simulations.

This hymn always reminds me of my grandfather. ❤

This hymn is always a comfort. The line which asks, “is there trouble anywhere?” I always think, yes, everywhere.

We have been richly endowed with trouble.
I wonder if we ought to be still, and ask for the Lord to show His power.
