Sadly, yes. :(

We have one neighbor that plays some music a little loud, not cranked, and while it's not perfect, at least they have their radio on the oldies channel so I don't have to hear the more horrible modern stuff when I'm outside.

Yes, most of it seems to be to be a bunch of loud noise that will harm ones ears, along with a few filthy words no human ought to let enter their ears.

Check out this neat hymn - "Am I A Soldier Of The Cross?"

"Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?"
God bless,
Joel ><>.

Very good!

Makes me think if this one, Father Along.

Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long;
While there are others living about us,
Never molested, though in the wrong.
Farther along we'll know more about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.

Sometimes I wonder why I must suffer,
Go in the rain, the cold, and the snow,
When there are many living in comfort,
Giving no heed to all I can do.
Farther along we'll know more about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.

Tempted and tried, how often we question
Why we must suffer year after year,
Being accused by those of our loved ones,
E'en though we've walked in God's holy fear.
Farther along we'll know more about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.

Often when death has taken our loved ones,
Leaving our home so lone and so drear,
Then do we wonder why others prosper,
Living so wicked year after year.
Farther along we'll know more about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.

"Faithful till death," saith our loving Master;
Short is our time to labor and wait;
Then will our toiling seem to be nothing,
When we shall pass the heavenly gate.
Farther along we'll know more about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.

Soon we will see our dear, loving Savior,
Hear the last trumpet sound through the sky;
Then we will meet those gone on before us,
Then we shall know and understand why.
Farther along we'll know more about it,
Farther along we'll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We'll understand it all by and by.

Yes, there are some wise words there! It's too bad more thought isn't given to the hymns we sing today.

Have any of you ever read about Frances Ridley Havergal?

[JerryNumbers]

Never heard of him.

Beautiful spring like weather, & I'm to lazy to take advantage of it after a trip to Texarkana & the wife's 2 doctor appointments.

[John81]

My yard is about ready to be mowed again.

[Salyan]

Serious?? Wow.
We're having some unseasonably warm weather - but it's no good! It's too warm to sled and too cold to paint! :)

[John81]

Our temps have been way above normal. Everything has grown and bloomed well ahead of usual this year. Many are calling it the winter that wasn't, and it seems at the moment spring was skipped and we've gone right into summer. Odd weather.

[JerryNumbers]

My yard has not all been mowed the 1st time, let along again!

If price of gas keeps on climbing, I will have to let it grow!

[John81]

It now costs as much to fill my 5 gallon gas can as it used to cost to fill up my truck!

[Salyan]

How long ago would that have been? :hide:
