A Hymn That Makes Me Think Of My Mom

I like to come up with songs for the women in my life.  But, in recent years, I have begun choosing hymns, gospel songs, and Christian music.  This is because I think there is something sacred about doing this.  I will begin by introducing my Mom's hymn.  She used to play this on the piano I think, because when it plays I think of her.  Enjoy!  Something I really appreciate about this one, is the imagery.  First, and most important, you have JESUS, on the cross.  But in glory, surrounded by Holy light.  He also has several halos about Him.  Doves, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, circle about, and its clearly a throne room, so the Father is present as well.  The Trinity.  I just noticed a second cross is present- lit up.  Then, you have the gates: partly open.  Welcoming the saints.  On either side of the gates are two angels guarding them.  Meanwhile, off to the right of Christ is the lamp stands, or candles re...

A New Song

 So, I listen to Christian radio.  I listen all day.  I am celebrating a work of the LORD!  Victory in Christ JESUS!!!  So, every now and then, they play a new song, though generally they keep the same line up.  It is so reassuring, but its nice to hear some new songs once in a while.  Then, I look them up on YouTube, and sometimes play them on repeat.  I have to share a song with you, that is relatively new, but is sooo good you need to hear it.   See how that one is new, to me.  I love the whole song, of course.  But the opening is amazing to me.  It highlights how GOD, JESUS loves us.  JESUS is NOT just some cold Lord, whom we obey.  BUT rather, He is also a Friend who can touch us in ways, no one else can.  At one time, I felt JESUS give me a hug.  I was so surprised!  I was angry at GOD.  I was son angry, I broke my chair.  Yet, He still loved me.  So, I share this song, because...

Is JESUS Present in your heart?

 I am listening to Dr. David Jeremiah, and he asked that very question.  Yes, I believe JESUS is in my heart.  They say its not a feeling.  However, I know there is a feeling.  Its been this way since a certain point in time.  I wonder, is the same true of you? My Mom, chose my name from a verse card.  Let me share the verse with you.    John 3:16 For GOD so loved Eric that He gave His only begotten Son, that if he believe in Him, he will not perish but have ever lasting life. So, there you have it, if you believe on JESUS, you will have everlasting life.  Yesterday, at Church we read question 8 of the Larger Catechism.  It goes something like this "Are there other Gods?"  A: "There is one, living GOD".  So, that answers the question if there is more than one GOD, in my mind.  So, when I discuss GOD, I am discussing Elohim- Jehovah.   Anyways I have been playing a game, and it is called Europa Universalis II...

First, coffee!

 Coffee is my first task of the morning.  Oh, but its not the morning.  It is actually 1:41 PM in the afternoon.  On Saturday.  I slept, and slept, because I am tired.  But also I am procrastinating.  In Europa Universalis III , I stumbled across a weak alliance.  So, I declared war, got some territory, and some vassals out of the war.  But then, Austria declared war on Venice!  Bohemia, is an ally of Venice, and The Teutonic Order is an ally of Bohemia.  The War includes France, and England too.  I am not sure how to win this war.  My guess was to leave Bohemia to stand alone against all that.  The Teutonic Order, btw controls or owns half of Italy now, after the first war.  I did it on purpose, because Austria became the Holy Roman Emperor.  So, I am just kind of stuck, I don't have much manpower soon after the war, and the Teutonic Order has to face France, Austria, and England alone pretty much.  Th...

The Day In A Nutshell

 So, today was pretty uneventful.  But I found a watch, out by the parking.  It was a yellow, and had stainless steel inside of it.  So, I brought it to the leasing office.  They said they would notify residents of a missing watch.  I hope I was able to help re-unite someone with there lost property.  It was such a nice watch, if I lost my watch I would be glad if someone found it, and turned it in.   I went swimming.  It was a short ten minute dip in the pool really.  But nevertheless, I saw a bug in the water, and ended up spending several minutes pulling it out of the water.  I was hoping it would dry its wings and fly off.  But it looked like it had died somehow.  So, sad.  After I swam for a while, I came back in and shaved.  Then, I took a shower. I played EU III again.  Yes.... I am trying to form Germany again.  That always excites me, in these games.  It is because they make it so dif...
