Just What I Needed

This will be a multifaceted/disjointed post, but one that makes sense to me.

First, our Bible study group is going to take responsibility for the Sunday evening service just after Thanksgiving. Each of us is supposed to select a hymn or chorus, tell why is it meaningful to us and, I hope, tell something special we got from the study on Philippians that we will complete this coming Thursday.

I have two songs I want to share. The first is El Shaddai, which I think is beautiful. I want to be sure that everyone knows what the words to the song really mean. The second one is "Shout To the Lord," which I also think is beautiful. I found the words to the song yesterday but wanted to find the music as well; I thought I knew exactly where it was but I was wrong. I couldn't find it.

I had a really bad day today. That is an exaggeration, of course; though I quickly became out of sorts as the day wore on and one problem/complication after another reared it ugly head. I would love to have packed my bag, hopped a plane, and gone somewhere - almost anywhere - but wait, that's how I feel most days. I didn't go anywhere, of course, though I did take my bad mood home with me.

Since I didn't have to fix dinner - Franklin had decided to eat cereal before I got home - I started looking for the sheet music again and actually found it pretty quickly. I found something else as well, and that is what I want to share in this post. What I found is really silly, but it made me laugh. I hope you will get a laugh from it as well.
