"Selling religion?"

Bah...humbug!, Harry.

Great music, great singing, and I know its purpose. But it is Herring
pushing religion. If he had shown just the singers on a stage setting,
fine.

Same version of song, without the visual religious stuff:

Did I miss something? The song is a religious song, with or without any
images. Taking away the images does not make it less religious. Are
you now pushing religion on us?

And, it wasn't the same version. Different singers.


Idiot.

whole bunch of folks to read them.

"For through the grace given to me I say to every man among you not to
think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so
as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of
faith,"(Romans 12:3) "But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God
opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6) "Humble
yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt
you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for
you." (1 Peter 5:6,7)

I thought I'd let Bridget have this one, As many of you know, is a
survivor of lymphoma. And she writes:

Cancer 101
lessons I've learned

"...I've learned: ~that a bunch of people genuinely love me and care
for me; even when I'm bankrupt of anything to give in return.

~not to take the freshness of a new season for granted or any of the
splendor of God's creation.

~I've had a control problem that I've spent years calling other
things. Like being organized, getting things done, leadership and at
the root of the problem have been trust issues.

~that it's OK to rest even when you have a lot to do.

~that being too busy stunts your spiritual growth.

~how to accept kindnesses graciously.

~what the power of the prayers of many can do.

~that dependency in the right context is strength, and not a weakness.

~that we are closest to God when we surrender our deepest fears to
Him.

~that God is not only with us in the present but is ahead of us as
well.

~to take greater joy in little things.

~that bad things don't just happen to other people.

~that optimism brings a lot of emotional sunshine to rainy days.

~I see the world more clearly. ~I feel with greater intensity.

~There is enrichment in life simply by the awareness of its
preciousness."

Beautiful thoughts. I've sent them to my daughter, who has expressed the
same things in several of her writings. She is amazed at the support she
has received, not just from friends and relatives, but everyone.

Thanks for posting that, Tim.
