Had enough bad nooze for now? I think I have.
Erlene has a hymn for us–Come, Holy Spirit, I Need Thee, written by Bill and Gloria Gaither, performed here by the Porchlight Trio.
There is no one out there who doesn’t need the Holy Spirit.

‘Leaning on the Everlasting Arms’ (with Harmonica)
There are so many ways to perform this hymn, and here’s another one–Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, presented by the Gaithers, with Buddy Greene on the harmonica. I play hymns on my harmonica, but it doesn’t sound like this. Anyway, there are a lot of ways to make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
Hymn Request, ‘Great Is Thy Faithfulness’
Erlene asked for this one, so here it is: Great Is Thy Faithfulness, performed by the Gaithers.
For me this is one of those “Praise Him anyway!” days (thank you, Joyce, for that concept). It’s always a shock to me to go to the doctor and hear a lot of things I don’t understand.
Nice harmony in this performance, though…
By Request, ‘Heaven’s Joy Awaits’
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.
