Well, I just spent the last hour trying to get this recording program work on my computer (Griffn iMic and Final Vinyl) so I could play the hymn for you guys - but I don't know what I'm doing wrong - the output is really faint. I gave up and here Julie has it from the 'net - why don't I ever think of that!!! LOL!!
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then there will be peace.

Ephesians 6:12,13:
12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil.
13Therefore, take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

My inspiration for the day. . .
Weave in faith, and God will find the thread.
I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountainn, "move from here to there" and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. - Matthew 17:20-21

Isaiah 49:16:
See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands!
Hands. To a child of abuse, they are viewed as hurtful...big...angry...painful...and scary. I was one of these children, and I always noticed other people's hands. My teacher's hands were strong, yet gentle to hold when on the playground. My friends hands were welcoming, soft, and playful. Other parents hands were kind and melted my heart when they softly carressed my face. Those were the hands I sought, as most children crave touch. But I never really knew any loving hands until I was an adult. It always amazed me that my husband's hands could feel so rough from years of working outdoors, yet they hold the most tenderness I've ever known. God's hands must be like this. THat He would love me enough to inscribe my name into the fleshiest, softest part only proves to my heart that His hands - symbolic of His love - are the ones I now seek.

*sigh* Ralph, I didn't post that for pity. On the contrary, thinking of how God's hands have massaged my heart through the years only humbles me more.

And I'm sorry you didn't know of a soft touch until age 17. There's more to that story than meets the page. Feel free to e-mail me if you want to discuss.

Got this in e-mail today and had to share...what a sweet way to explain it!...
A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."
Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."
"You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"
The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing...
...I know my Master is there, and that is enough."
