*A LIGHT FROM THE SHADOWS SHALL SPRING*


“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”

J.R.R. Tolkien

*BROTHER IN LAW OF THE YEAR!*




All I wanted for my birthday was a video of my brother in law dancing. You have no idea (unless you know him well) how funny his dancing is along with his awesome personality. Well...low and behold my birthday came yesterday and "The gift that keeps on given' " was given to me! Have a look and try not to pee your pants! Joe, your a star!

*BE STILL MY SOUL*


The Lord is my only companion right now, and He stays beside me through the night and I hear this hymn as though He is speaking to me.

"Be Still, My Soul"

by Catharina von Schlegel, 1697-? Translated by Jane Borthwick, 1813-1897

1. Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side; Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; Leave to thy God to order and provide; In every change He faithful will remain.Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly, Friend Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

2. Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake To guide the future as He has the past. Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.

3. Be still, my soul, though dearest friends depart And all is darkened in the vale of tears; Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart, Who comes to soothe thy sorrows and thy fears. Be still, my soul; thy Jesus can repayFrom His own fulness all He takes away.

4. Be still, my soul; the hour is hastening on When we shall be forever with the Lord, When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past, All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
