Up from the Grave He Arose!

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

Up From the Grave He Arose by Robert Lowry, 1826-1899 Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Savior, waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord! Up from the grave he arose; with a mighty triumph o’er his foes; he arose a victor from the dark domain, and he lives forever, with his saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose! Vainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Savior, vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord! Up from the grave he arose; with a mighty triumph o’er his foes; he arose a victor from the dark domain,…

The Old Rugged Cross

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

The Old Rugged Cross by George Bennard (1873-1958) On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame; and I love that old cross where the dearest and best for a world of lost sinners was slain. So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown. O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, has a wondrous attraction for me; for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above…

I stepped back in time to when I was younger and we sang this song in church… His Eye Is on the Sparrow by Civilla D. Martin (1905) Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,…

The Legend of the Sand Dollar

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

The Legend of the Sand Dollar There’s a pretty little legend That I would like to tell Of the birth and death of Jesus Found in this lowly shell If you examine closely, You’ll see that you find here Four nail holes and a fifth one Made by a Roman’s Spear. On one side the Easter Lily, Its center is the star That appeared unto the wisemen And led them from afar. The Christmas poinsettia Etched on the other side Reminds us of His birthday Our Happy Christmastide. Now break the center open And here you will release The five…

Worry about Nothing, Pray about Everything

Posted in Christian Life, Family, and Photography

The Bible tells us… “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Phil. 4:6 It sounds so simple, but putting that into action isn’t always easy. We give our cares, concerns, worries to the Lord, and then, for some unknown reason, we try to take them back. Why, oh why, do we do this to ourselves? When I have that “uh-ha” moment and realize that I’m trying to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders, I tend to do the little palm smack on the forehead…
