My two favorites are: It is Well...I know that hymm. My two favorites are: It is Well with My Soul, and Oh Come Emannuel. I've never researched the writing. Interesting.<BR/><BR/>As usual, you made me think. I always liked that Jesus revealed himself to Mary first, not the disciples. I wonder if it was because she had more faith. I wonder if it was because she did not desert him. For some reason, her heart was ready to accept the miracle. I believe it was because her sin had been so great that her forgiveness and love for her forgiver gave her that ability. And I don't subscribe to any of that DaVinci Code nonsense. She was a good servant and a good follower of Christ. Often those who are deepest in sin and farthest from the reaches of social graces are the ones who understand true grace. <BR/><BR/>This is the Jesus I love.Enemy of the Republichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342253341470198835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33193324.post-10378857604379974222007-12-23T09:47:00.000-08:002007-12-23T09:47:00.000-08:00hey lance, i got a new post. hope yea enjoyyhey lance, i got a new post. hope yea enjoyyJosiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07962505381751736114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33193324.post-46609443503157218132007-12-22T20:32:00.000-08:002007-12-22T20:32:00.000-08:00Mississppi Men might make 25 cents a day at a saw ...Mississppi Men might make 25 cents a day at a saw mill Before sunup after sundown<BR/>And spent more time at home with their families.

For I have also met people who act like having a relationship with Christ is quite exclusive.<BR/><BR/>Nonetheless: the point that needs to be made is that we can take our relationship with Him very personally. For the absolute truth of the matter truly is that He would have went through all that He has just for me!!!<BR/><BR/>Now, as for the song: "In The Garden" was a favorite of my parents, as well; and echoes of Elvis' rendition coming out of the speakers of our Magnavox on high still make their rounds in my mind.

But without knowing the story (as most people do not) it always sounded rather narcissistic to me. It always sounded to me like the song was imparting the fact that the joy of knowing Jesus (and being known by him), was something that only one person could know (presumably the person singing the song). <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, I have encountered many people who feel that way - that Christ is just for them. No, they do not actually come out and say it, but that is how they live and act toward so many others - as if their relationship with Jesus is something that is just for them and no one else.<BR/><BR/>Jesus died for every last one of us, not just for you, not just for me, not just for the elect. He died for EVERYONE. <BR/><BR/>So if it were up to me, I would change that last line to read...<BR/><BR/>"For the joy we share, as we tarry there - is not just for me alone."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33193324.post-57958538906987973962007-12-21T20:51:00.000-08:002007-12-21T20:51:00.000-08:00I feel the peace of the hymn, the peace of the hol...I feel the peace of the hymn, the peace of the holiday, the peace of the moment. And the Lord's peace, as well. He's here in the words, between the lines and in our hearts.<BR/><BR/>I love faith for that reason.<BR/><BR/>I find it to be such a relief to hand over burdens of the world to Him, as nothing weighs him down. And I thank Him that I can do so and move on in life.<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas to you and yours, Lance.
