The Presence of Jesus

I was playing "In the Garden" on the piano today, and God's presence came down. I've been pretty discouraged for the last few months. But everything looks bright ahead again. Isn't it wonderful, the difference God makes in just a few moments? God knows just what we need and when we need it. I'm so happy that He does!

And He walks with me, and He talks with me; And He tells me I am His own.
And the joy we share, as we tarry there: none other can ever know.

He is Our Peace

Hey!
Just wanted to share a new poem with everyone. I've had this thought buzzing around in my head for quite a while now. Right now, it's just a poem. With a few paraphrases and adjustments, it will be a song someday too. Rick is encouraging me to write more. So here it is.
He Is Our Peace
When trials seem to steal my song,
And everything goes wrong,
I keep running in this race,
Seems I cannot keep the pace.
I read my Bible and I pray,
I ask the Lord to guide my way,
While I'm there upon my knees,
I'm overwhelmed with thoughts of peace.


He's our peace, in the midst of troubled times.
He's our peace, and everyone who seeks Him finds.
He's our peace, and if we set our minds on Christ;
We'll have joy though all our life, for He's our peace.

We try and try only to fail.
Rely on friends, to no avail.
Can our faith hold on 'til dawn,
when all our hope seems to be gone?
Then God's love shines through the gloom.
My feeble faith begins to bloom.
Christ overcoming all my fear,
There comes a peace that is so dear.

Hope it helps someone along the way.

Books I'm reading.

I've been reading a couple books this week. One is called "Song Catchers" by Mickey Hart. It's about how people have collected music from all over the world. It's interesting. The other book is "Alaska Twilight" by Colleen Coble. I'm reading it just for fun. It's a mystery story.
I'm not the only one in our family who enjoys books. My daughter, Julia loves books too. I've been bringing about ten books home from the library every week. Sometimes, I read some to her. Most the time, her daddy reads to her before she goes to bed. She loves books!
That's all for now.
