Friday

I was working on The Prayer Link EARLY this morning.  When the weather got bad, I shut down the computer thinking it would save my work as has always been done.  I suppose the bad weather prevented the satellite from getting my post, so now I am starting over.  This may not be as good as the first, but I will try to get it posted as quickly as possible.  Please excuse the delay.

“Sing to the LORD, who dwells in Zion;

proclaim His deeds among the nations.”

~Psalm 9:11, HCSB~

Devotional, Scripture, and a Song

  • “Filtered Light” –  http://odb.org/2014/10/03/filtered-light/
  • It is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,                   who has shone in our hearts.                                                                                                                                                                   ~2 Corinthians 4:6~
  • “The Light of the World is Jesus” –  https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/1018

                          Come to the light, ’tis shining for thee;
                          Sweetly the light has dawned upon me;
                         Once I was blind, but now I can see;
                         The light of the world is Jesus.

I like that this site also allows you to see the music for the melody just by clicking a                     tab.

 

Come to the Light (Jesus)!
