Folks, I know a lot of you are wondering why some of your comments don’t get posted. WordPress says it’s the algorithms. Well, it isn’t me! Anyway, I’m going back into the “Spam” and “Pending” buckets in search of comments that should have been posted but weren’t. There I approve them for posting. Where and when they get posted… I don’t know.

Janet, I’m sorry it took so ridiculously long to fulfill your hymn request! I hope you can say “Better late than never.”

By Request, ‘How Beautiful Heaven Must Be’

I can hardly believe I’d never heard this gospel song before. Requested by SlimJim, sung by George Jones, How Beautiful Heaven Must Be.

Well, the hymn shop’s open and it ain’t crowded… Come on in.

‘Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown?’

This is the classic hymn that inspired the movie, Stars in My Crown. Written by E.E. Hewitt and published in 1897–they brought it backward in time ten or twenty years for the movie–Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown? Sung here by George Jones.
