What these three kittens do to this set of curtains shouldn’t happen even to a set of curtains. Makes you wonder about what really happened to Pompeii…
Rumor has it that the person who stood there and filmed this video owns a curtain factory. Another rumor says what the heck, they ain’t his curtains.
This is another worship song suggested by Erlene–He Still Has the Scars, by Carroll Roberson.
I find the crucifixion of Our Lord Jesus Christ almost too horrible to contemplate. I’ve lived all my life in the modern United States: we don’t get to see public executions, extravagant and gory punishments. In fact, it’s against the law in our country, per the Eighth Amendment. So I have to imagine the crucifixion, and it’s not easy.
Add to that the fact that Jesus Christ was innocent: without sin: He had done only good, all throughout his ministry: and He spoke the truth. Even Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent.
“His blood be upon us and our children,” cried the crowd.
“We have no king but Caesar,” cried the crowd.
But the Lord lives, and has obtained forgiveness of sins and eternal life for all who believe in Him. And He still has the scars.
They just had their processional here at St. Francis, right across the street from me. Here it is from St. Mary the Virgin, New York City. The hymn is All Glory, Laud and Honor.
I don’t have access to Facebook today because the computer doesn’t want to do that, either; I can only hope some of you can see this.
(Trying to work around having only one computer instead of two…)
Let’s have your Easter hymn requests, everybody. Don’t be shy!
This is Rise Again by Dallas Holm, requested by Erlene.
Dogs will never learn to play poker. Their faces give it all away.
I have it on good authority that the infamous, much-feared Hound of the Baskervilles was, in reality, an extraordinarily badly-behaved little pug dog.
Remember this? Sky King–the only TV Western hero who flew his own airplane, which he called, affectionately, Songbird.
Sky King started as a radio show in 1946 and ran on television from 1951 through 1962–quite long-lived for a TV series. It starred Kirby Grant as Sky King, who always caught the bad guys but never killed them, and Gloria Winters as his niece and co-pilot, Penny. I had kind of a crush on her when I was 11. I wonder if my other girlfriends at the time, Jean Simmons and Lee Remick, ever got jealous.
Anyway, this little clip ought to bring back pleasant memories. It was such a can’t-miss idea–a Western with an airplane–you wonder why it took so long to think of it.
“Thewhiterabbit” asked for this hymn, a good old classic, The Church’s One Foundation. And I thought you might enjoy hearing the Lutheran Warbler again. The simplicity of her renditions, oh, that brings me back!
Enough with the crummy news already–let’s relax with our pets.
That business with the hedgehog reminds me of when I discovered, as a kid, that if I rubbed my pet lizards’ bellies, with would put them into something like a hypnotic trance. I’ll bet the same thing happened with that hedgehog.
It’s Linda’s birthday today, and she has asked to hear this worship song: Praise the Lord, by Chris Christian. So here it is! Happy Birthday, Linda. From all of us.
Chorus: “Christ shall have dominion over land and sea, Earth’s remotest regions shall His empire be.” Sing it out, sing it loud. You already know the tune. It’s “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” both hymns using the melody composed by Arthur Sullivan, published in 1871. It’s the same Sullivan of Gilbert & Sullivan fame.
Sung here by the congregation at the First OPC in Perkasie, Pennsylvania.
