Bonus Hymn, ‘Heaven’s Joy Awaits’

Erlene requested this yesterday, and it’s just perfect today for the good mood I’m in–Heaven’s Joy Awaits, sung a capella by the Gaither Vocal Band. And is that a kazoo in the background, in the introduction? Very creative!

Erlene asked for this one, and here it is–the Gaither Vocal Band with Heaven’s Joy Awaits.

A lot of new visitors have been here lately, so I want to let them all know that we do hymn requests. If there’s a hymn or Christian song you’d like to see posted here, just let me know–the more, the merrier. Wait’ll you see how we go to town around Christmas-time!

Erlene requested this, so here it is, to start the day–Heaven’s Joy Awaits, by the Gaither Vocal Band.

There’s news to write about today, of course, but first I have to go to the nursing home to check up on my aunt–and then a bike ride before it gets too hot.

Meanwhile, most of you out there have never requested a hymn–so let’s start hearing from you. Don’t be shy!

Happy Birthday to Erlene, who has requested this–Heaven’s Joy Awaits, performed by the Gaithers and friends.

I am back from the doctor. I will have to take medication for my blood pressure, which is dangerously high–but other than that, I seem to be in good shape. I have to be careful because high blood pressure runs in my family, with the male side given to short life spans. But I will be here for as long as God wants me to be–not a minute less, not a minute more.

Stonewall Jackson was once asked how he could be so brave in battle. He said he was as safe on the battlefield as he was at home in bed, because his life was in God’s hands.

There are a lot of medical issues floating around in my family–but then that’s probably true for every family.

Time to put away fear and get on with things. Let God be God, the sovereign Lord of all.
