We have a hymn request from Susan–Hymn of Heaven, by Phil Wickham.
The hymn shop’s open all day, every day, open to all. Some readers have been here for years without ever making a hymn request. Don’t be shy!

This One’s for Erlene
Our dear sister Erlene hasn’t been feeling well lately, it’s been a hard week for her–and I hope we will all rally to her in prayer. Please, Lord! Erlene has been your good and faithful servant for a long time, and now she needs healing. In Jesus’ name, O God, please be swift to help her!
And the hymn, He’s Still God by Carroll Roberson, is here because it’s one of Erlene’s favorites.
We’re with you, lady–with you all the way.
By Request–Another Dream!
Honest, Phoebe and I did not consult about this first. But these odd little coincidences happen around here more often than you might expect.
I write of a dream about going to Hell; and Phoebe requests this from the 1955 production of Guys and Dolls–a song about going to Heaven. They make a nice pair of bookends, don’t they?
So we have Stubby Kaye singing Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat… Additional hint: If you find yourself on a boat going to Heaven, throw your dice overboard; don’t try to start a crap game.
Don’t Forget the Hymn Contest

I’m sorry to report no hymn requests today so far, no entries into our ongoing hymn contest. Well, these things always slow up after the initial excitement.
A few of you wind up requesting the most hymns–by far the most. I was hoping more of you would join the party! That’s not to discourage readers who make a lot of hymn requests: it’s to encourage you who never make any.
And now we’ve got another thunderstorm looming, and if I want a cigar I’d better go out and have it now.
It’s perfectly okay to make hymn requests while I’m not here!
Important P.S.! I want to showcase posts from other Christian blogs–because, in this climate of growing censorship, I think we must support each other. If you’re a Christian blogger who’d like to see your work displayed here from time to time, please just let me know! There’s no charge for it.
A Personal Note (Ooch! Ouch!)
Thank heaven for hymn requests and Norbert videos! Because of these, I can keep this blog going even when I’m not quite up to snuff.
My allergies are killing me and I ache all over–in fact, I feel like I just fell down the stairs. I had to go to the supermarket anyway, where I learned from the checkout clerk, and from the woman behind me in line, that there’s a lot of this going around, bad allergies all over–which to me means it’ll pass. “Would you believe I slept for 12 straight hours yesterday?” the clerk said. “Save some of the next batch of sleep for me,” I answered.
So I’m not up to working on my new book, I can’t bring myself to scan the nooze, and I look forward to feeling better tomorrow. I’m changing the title of the book, by the way–the new book is now The Witch Box.
(Oh, fap! I’ve got to write a Newswithviews column tomorrow. If I can! I’d appreciate some prayers on my behalf.)
P.S.–Don’t forget we’ve got a hymn contest going. The more, the merrier.
‘All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name’
This is a hymn that needs to be sung again and again, loudly–that the Lord might use His power, and save us: All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name. What name will the enemy invoke against it?
Come on, everybody–let’s have some hymn requests.
(Sung by Blue Rock Mennonite Youth)
‘To God Be the Glory’ (Fountainview)
I found myself whistling this yesterday, and with no new requests coming in today as yet, well, why not? To God Be the Glory, performed by the students at Fountainview Academy. Background sets by God the Father.
To Hymn or Not to Hymn?
For once I have a passel of hymn requests. I keep wavering back and forth, back and forth: should I post them all today, or hold some till tomorrow? What would my readers prefer?
It’s Monday, so I suppose I really ought to write up some nooze. Not that it’ll do any good, but we do want to know what we’re up against. Meanwhile, my viewer numbers are where they were back in 2016–most discouraging: but it suggests there’s not much I can do to hurt them.
Hmm…. How about one more hymn, and still keep the others for tomorrow and the next day? I mean, well, I can always change my mind if halfway through the day, the demand for more hymns reaches a crescendo.
Well, let’s go see what’s cooking in the nooze.
Quick Note: What Happened to the Hymn?
Every day, the first thing I post here is a hymn.
Today, for the first time ever, the daily hymn has no views. Zip, zero, nada. This is so unusual, I just have to ask about it. I mean, what’s not to like about He Leadeth Me?
Reminder to new arrivals: we’re always glad to post hymn requests. So if you have a hymn you’d like to share, just let us know.
What’s Your Favorite Hymn?
We like to start every blogging day here with a hymn, and I like to post the hymns that you request. When left to my own devices, I’m afraid I tend to repeat myself and choose the same relatively few hymns again and again–because they’re my favorites. Light of the World, Hyfrydol, To Be a Pilgrim: well, what can I say?
I’d love to know what your favorite hymns are. I know it’s impossible to pick just one, so please feel free to list as many as you like.
I’ll keep track of the ones that are mentioned and will report to you which hymns seem to be the most popular. Don’t be bashful! If you only knew how hard it is to elicit a wide reader response… you’d wonder why I try. But I’m really interested in what you all have to say.
