is being made in Washington, D.C., with a new Museum opening on the mall. America shines brightest at those moments when we sink our fearful feelings, and rise to the better angels of our nature, as President Lincoln said in his brief and "eternal" Gettysburg address (1865?). Together, we touch the hem of God's garments... peace, coexistence, and joys overflow. Life is abundant (John 10:10) Sadly for me, Jessy Dixon, pastor and mighty singer of hymns, ironically jumped out of his seat to join... Sign in to see full entry.

LORD, may your name be first on my tongue And let it be so long before dawn And each time I awake at, or far from home, How comforting it is to say Abba, my own There is no other; Whom can I rely upon I am the littlest lamb in your flock So many dangers beset us not yet weaned Off that pure milk; You lead us to pastures Replete with the choicest morsels, clean And life-giving waters...

Dear Readers, Enjoy this blessing, especially for your spirit. And relish the link to a hymn. However, I confess I was reluctant to add anything to the uTube link to "Jesus Paid It All," a great hymn...For those who still wish to hear the inspiring song, the link is preserved at the end of this back story. This is the story of how a tune was born and rejected by the same pastor, who would make Elvina Hall's JESUS PAID IT ALL, live on and on... I hope to sing this hymn in heaven at the top of my...

Hey writers, poets, bloggers, and mostly humans: I am Ukusa, pronounced OokooSah! You may call me OoKoo, if that makes you smile/gleeful/ overjoyed. I wanted, however, to ask about WHY SOME FOLKS HAVE SO MANY BLOGS, AND I AM ALLOWED ONLY ONE? I wonder whether lon-established writers on Blogit were grandfathered in, ebcause I see many blogs from 2005-2009, topng their categories, with no recent activity. I took the $12.95 per month option of joining this site, and i am allowed just a single blog.... Sign in to see full entry.
1 John 1:3 reminds us that only humans, in God's handiwork, bear His image. Some interpret this to mean "intelligence," some think it refers to "will and choice/freedom," and yet others will say, "ability to praise, love, and fellowship." Surely, we are higher in many ways from animals, and the angels. One writer says the angels were created before humans, and God gave his love to them. But there is more fulfilment in someone with our image, going beyond companionship with a favorite or... Sign in to see full entry.

The Bible exhorts us to be kind to strangers, exiles, and aliens. This is true in both the Old and New Testaments. For instances Hebrews 13: 1-2 says we may entertain angels when we treat strangers kindly. American Christians of the Trump kind, ones I call Trumplings, will not likely graduate to this level of Christian maturity any time before November 8th, 2016. (See 1 Peter 2 that we start with the pure milk of the WORD. But we do learn to chew meat, later). shalom, shalom Sign in to see full entry.
