Alright, I'm done being grumpy about the things that keep going wrong. Everything is going according to God's plan and that's all I need to know. It's the day before Christmas and I hope that everyone is having a very blessed and joyful Christmas. We are going to our 11 o' clock service at Church tonight and that is always one of my favorite things to do, because it prepares me for Christmas day in the right way. It's not about presents, or lights, or snow, or any other thing that the world tries to tell me it's about. It's about the coming Christ. and that is better than any present I could ever receive from this world. At Church on Wednesday we sang the hymn. It's not the same as On Jordan's Stormy Banks, but if you want to hear the tune, go to http://www.lutheran-hymnal.com/lutheranworship/lw014.mid here are the lyrics though for now

On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh;
awake and hearken, for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings.

Then cleansed be every breast from sin;
make straight the way for God within,
prepare we in our hearts a home
where such a mighty Guest may come.

For thou art our salvation, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without thy grace we waste away
like flowers that wither and decay.

To heal the sick stretch out thine hand,
and bid the fallen sinner stand;
shine forth and let thy light restore
earth's own true loveliness once more.

All praise, eternal Son, to thee,
whose advent doth thy people free;
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Ghost for evermore.


I love hymns. Merry Christmas Everyone!
