This is a classic Isaac Watts hymn–Am I Soldier of the Cross?–set against a Scottish highland backdrop by singer Andy Kenway: the work of God’s hands, who sculpted the shape of the earth.

Norwegian Hymn, ‘Mitt Hjerte Alltid Vanker’
This beautiful hymn from Norway, Mitt Hjerte Alltid Vanker, harks back to Christmas with the words, “My heart will always wander to where our Lord was born.” Background sets by God the Father, who made the heavens and the earth.
My Newswithviews Column, March 14 (‘Lights Out–for Socialism’)
Well, okay, there’s still some electricity in Caracas–but only enough to keep the finest restaurants open to their richest and most powerful customers. Somehow socialism always looks like that.
Here in America, we have our own socialist parasites to contend with.
But there’s hope. Contrary to what we’ve been hearing 24/7/365 from the nooze media, Hollywood, the public schools, and the fat-heads of the academic world, Christianity is not dying out. It’s getting stronger.
Bad, bad news for the Climate Cult…
‘When to be Scared of Cucumbers’ (2015)
And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. –Isaiah 1:8
The Holy Spirit could have given Isaiah a lot more violent, bloody imagery, but instead opted for a hut left all alone in a field of cucumbers. And somehow that’s an image that stays with you.
Isaiah’s prophecies came true for Jerusalem with the Babylonians took it and burned it to the ground.
They will be fulfilled again.
‘He Leadeth Me’
We start today’s blogging with a Sunday school favorite–He Leadeth Me, sung by the Mennonite Hour Men’s Quartet. Gorgeous background sets by God the Father, maker of heaven and earth.
Joshua & Jeremy, ‘I’ll Fly Away’
I really enjoy the way these two friends of ours play music. I’ll Fly Away is a traditional country him.
What do we have to do to get these guys to sing, too?
How Come It’s Not ‘Hate’ When Libs Do It?
“Not appropriate in this school”
A fourth-grade public school teacher in Utah seems to be pleading ignorance as her excuse for forcing a 9-year-old child to “wipe off” the Ash Wednesday cross from his forehead last week (https://www.foxnews.com/us/utah-teacher-apologizes-for-ash-wednesday-cross-incident).
She thought it was “dirt on his forehead,” she claims. Uh, she is now on “administrative leave.” The boy tried to explain what it was, but says she wouldn’t listen–and she is also supposed to have said the Ash Wednesday cross was “not appropriate in this school, go wipe it off.”
When a public uproar ensued, the teacher apologized. “My whole life has been centered around respecting diversity,” she said. And, “I had no idea it was a religious symbol.”
Really? You really didn’t know? What do we get if we believe you?
Is there anyone who still doubts that the public education establishment is actively hostile to Christians and their faith? This is what you get when you send your Christian children to a public school. I mean, how many hundreds of incidents do we have to report before you get the message?
The only thing sacred to the teachers’ unions is Far Left politics and societal engineering. In John Dewey’s words, schoolteachers are “change agents.” Their job is to change America into God knows what. An anthill with Far Left crazies in charge of it all.
And if someone is honestly so ignorant as not to know about Ash Wednesday, what’s she doing “teaching” in the first place?
‘Our Great Savior’ (It’s ‘Hyfrydol’)
Looking for a hymn to post, I came upon Our Great Savior. Ah, a new one–haven’t heard it before. Only it turns out that I have. Often! I’m beginning to think each and every denomination has its own set of lyrics for the Welsh melody, Hyfrydol. And each and every one of them makes a joyful noise unto the Lord.
Sung by the choir and congregation at Temple Baptist Church in Powell, Tennessee.
By Request, ‘Mary, Mary’
Joshua requested this one–Mary, Mary, sung a capella by GLAD. Getting ready for the Easter season, everyone?
‘Leaning on the Everlasting Arms’ (Alan Jackson)
I love this hymn–I keep saying that: sorry–Leaning on the Everlasting Arms. Alan Jackson’s rendition is short and sweet.
Hey, everybody! We’re in Lent now, and Easter is coming. How about some requests for Easter and Lenten hymns?
