TSMSS!

TSMSS...Selah!

I love to think of hiding in the cleft of a rock with His hand stretched over me for protection. Or hiding in the shadow of His wings. He is the One we need to run to every day, not just in times of trouble. :)

TSMSS...a little late!

Love this version! For some great music go to Amy's blog!

Shalom!

TSMSS!

Classic '60's Jesus music! This is a little bit of history for those of us who came to the Lord in the '60's and '70's. It makes me smile at the memories of those days, and makes me cry to hear these guys sing.

This has been a favorite since the '70's and this video is gorgeous! It brings tears to  my eyes!



Hope you enjoy this and to see more music videos go to TSMSS!

The "Second Chapter of Acts with Footnotes" album was one of the first albums of Christian music I owned as a new believer in 1973, so this music will always have a place in my heart. This is one of my favorites from the album!




Feel a feeling
Say a saying
But you'll still be lonely
If you think life is only for this moment...

Do a doing
Mourn a mourning
Still won't get you off your sorrows...
So go ahead and cry, but you
Can't cry and look at tomorrow...


(CHORUS):
You don't know which way the wind blows
So how can you plan tomorrow,
you don't know which way the wind blows
So how can you plan tomorrow...


Run a running
Hide a hiding
Whenever you hear the truth
And when you ask for the proof
You won't listen... Oh,listen...

Praise a praising
Build a building
Try to get these into your life
And you don't even know wrong from right
Oh, where's your wisdom?


(CHORUS):
You don't know which way the wind blows
So how can you plan tomorrow...
you don't know which way the wind blows
So how can you plan tomorrow...


Die a dying
Resurrecting
By believing and receiving
Forgiveness from Jesus
Who took the sin from sinning...


(CHORUS II):
Jesus knows which way the wind blows
So give Him your tomorrow...
Jesus knows which way the wind blows
So give Him your tomorrow...

Believe and Receive, Believe and Receive...
(Which Way the Wind Blows-2nd Chapter of Acts)


Hope you all have a great TSMSS!

Shalom!

Art? Dance is art!

Actually, I began perusing videos of Davidic worship dancers hoping to find a model for a drawing. This is one of the first I found and I will share my unworthy thoughts with you below the video. ;)

My ideal was to find a slim, beautiful, Israeli woman dancing in a flowing, colorful dress. Something magnificent to draw and color. In reality, I kept coming across REAL PEOPLE dressed in simple, sometimes not-too-attractive outfits. These women reminded me of myself: thick waisted, middle aged (or maybe older!), not necessarily beautiful. (Remember, I said they reminded me of myself!) But as I watched them dancing it began to dawn on me how shallow I was being. God sees beyond our outward package.  He sees, in these women, hearts that are willing to worship Him, maybe in a way that makes one more vulnerable than many ways. I doubt that these women are trying to impress us with their outward appearances, rather they're hoping to teach us a new way to express our love for God through this lovely choreography. As I continued to watch I was drawn to the oldest woman in the group with her white hair in a bun. Isn't she beautiful? This is something to aspire to; to be actively worshipping God as we grow older.  I would hope that our worship would become more and more concentrated on God and less aware of our selves.

I was reassured to know that no matter what our outsides look like, and the ravages of time will affect all of us, God sees our heart.  Our spirit. Whether we are physically and mentally strong, or languishing in a nursing home with dementia, our spirit, if it belongs to Him, is safe. This has nothing to do with outward appearances. When He looks at our spirit, He sees Jesus who died for us.

So, I'm off, still in search of a subject for my artwork. (Will I never learn?) But I will continue to remember the lesson I've learned. Dance unto the Lord! He is worthy of our praise!

Shalom!

Almost forgot! It's TSMSS!!!

This is my dear son Jordan who is a music minister at a church in Joshua, Texas, a suburb of Ft. Worth. I think it takes a manly man to write a song about Jesus being his lover and himself being Jesus's bride. :) I'm proud of him and miss him since he lives so far away. I hope you enjoy this song he wrote called "Alive and Well". (Not only is he a very spiritual guy; he's also a NUT! LOL! I miss his humor.)




Half my life I was a slave
A life of fear and an early grave
Til my lover found me and I was saved
Then they laughed and beat Him all the way
to the hole where He was laid
The place that would have been my grave
But it wasn’t over still
He walked away alive and well
He broke the power that death had held, yeah
He bought me out with His own life
Said he wants me as His bride
Cleaned and dressed me all in white
I’m not my own
I’ll be His and His alone
My heroic lover on the throne.
And it isn’t over still
He walks with me alive and well
He broke the power that death had held
And it isn’t over still
You walk with me alive and well
You broke the power that death had held
You stayed through the pain for me
You stayed through the pain for me
I am yours, my King
You stayed through the pain for me
You stayed through the pain for me
And I am yours, my King
You stayed through the pain for me
You stayed through the pain for me
And I, I am yours, my King
My King
But it isn’t over still
You walk with me alive and well
He broke the power that death had held.
(Alive and Well by Jordan Richards)

TSMSS and progress on a zentangle...

I love this version!

Remember this from a few days ago?

This is what it's looking like today. I haven't quite got the hang of the "featherfall" pattern, but I like it!

I'm off to work in a little while, but wanted to post something. Last night at work was SO hectic. I'm really tired! Sigh. Wish I could stay home, take a nap and then draw! But life costs money, so I'll muddle through. (End of whine.)
Everyone have a great day!
Go with God!

Then Sings My Soul Saturday-Lamb

Lamb was one of the first albums of Christian (Messianic) music I ever owned, way back in 1973. They made such an impact on me. I already had a love for Israel, and now I knew others did too. I thought this would be appropriate for Resurrection Sunday!

For more great Then Sings My Soul Saturday videos, check Amy's blog!
Shalom and have a blessed Easter!

Then Sings My Soul Saturdays...my first!

This is my favorite version of the 23rd Psalm. I came to the Lord in 1973 and shortly after discovered Keith's music. This song always ministers to me.
