I Love This Man...

...don't mess with him.

Beams of Heaven

I'm not really one for poetry but this struck me, and this picture that I took recently seemed to go along with it.

Beams of heaven as I go,
through this wilderness below,
guide my feet in peaceful ways,
turn my midnights into days.
When in the darkness I would grope,
faith always sees a star of hope,
and soon from all life's grief and danger,
I shall be free someday, I shall be free someday.

Often-times my sky is clear,
joy abounds without a tear,
though a day so bright begun,
clouds may hide tomorrow's sun.
There'll be a day that's always bright,
a day that never yields to night,
and in its light the streets of glory
I shall behold someday, I shall behold someday.

Harder yet may be the fight,
right may often yield to might;
wickedness a while may reign;
Satan's cause may seem to gain.
But there's a God that rules above,
with hand of power and heart of love,
and if I'm right, he'll fight my battle,
I shall have peace someday, I shall have peace someday.

Burdens now may crush me down,
disappointments all around,
troubles speak in mournful sigh,
sorrow through a tear-stained eye.
There is a world where pleasure reigns,
no mourning soul shall roam its plains,
and to that land of peace and glory,
I shall want to go someday, I shall want to go someday...

I shall want to go someday.

Six Things

So, we are kind of in a lul here these days....lots of fun summer stuff going on, but not much to write about! This is what we know:
1. There will be goodies this Sunday
2. The Cardinals are in Atlanta, so they'll likely lose
3. The women's summer party with a pool (and Kati's birthday) are this coming Wed.
4. someone just made the blog a scary place to be by switching the pics posted by the janitoress.....yikes!
5. it is almost FRIDAY!
6. oh, and the Beckham's are in America....soccer anyone?

What are you all up to?

So the janitoress thought she would take the liberty...

...Of spicing up this blog with a little summery Western heart-throb action. Anyways, all that aside, check the little "announcements" box right over here for the latest on youth group activities. In addition to the ones already tacked up there, the Refuge of Nations pool party is rescheduled for some Friday or other this month, date anybody? (Forrest and Stu were yelling in my ear when Mrs. Roberts mentioned it in Sunday school.) And don't you dare forget to come this Saturday to the Frisbee Golf Tournament!! (I won't be there, but whatev.) Girls... sometime after the WIC pool party... PRIDE AND PREJUDICE MARATHON at Amanda's!! *promptly swoons clean away* Anyhow, the janitoress must get back to her menial and lowly tasks around here... toodlepip!
