Monday Meditation: Life Let Us Cherish

 

 

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy,
and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, 
where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
(Matthew 6:19-21)

 Life, let us cherish, while yet the taper glows,

And heavenly treasures grasp ere it close.

In vain we seek for earthly bliss;

The plants of joy, the fruits of peace,

Can never grow in soil like this:

Place all thy hopes in heaven.

Life, let us cherish, while yet the taper glows,

And heavenly treasures grasp ere it close. 

Life let us cherish, while yet the taper glows,

And heavenly treasures grasp ere it close.

Our hearts in vain to riches cling,

Our gems are dim, our gold hath wings,

And, when possess'd no comfort brings:

Lay up thy wealth in heaven. 

Life let us cherish, while yet the taper glows,

And heavenly treasures grasp ere it close.

Set not thy heart on earthly fame,

It's highest gift's an empty name,

That quickly fades or ends in shame:

True glory comes from heaven.

Sunday Night In Uncle Walt's Vault: The Mooncussers

 

 

 

 

 In this historic adventure drama first aired in December, 1962  "The Mooncussers" 
tells the story of a group of treacherous 19th century land pirates operating 
along the East Coast of the United States.

Set in the 1840's, a band of pirates called Mooncussers are looking for unsuspecting
  ships to wreck by using false signal lights near a village on the Long Island shore.

 Pirate leader Mr. Wick (Robert Emhardt) orders his men to set a trap for the Emily, 
a clipper ship of the E.P. Hallett Line.   His plot is foiled however through the efforts 
 of young Johnny Feather, who thwarts the pirates' nefarious scheme along with
Dan Hallett, who has arrived in the village to investigate and stop the Mooncussers.

 With an introduction by Walt Disney himself, this presentation stars child
  actor Kevin Corcoran as Johnny Feather, Rian Garrick as Dan Hallett,
 Oscar Homolka as Uriah Hawk,  Joan Freeman as Betsy Feather,
 Erin O'Brien Moore as Mrs. Feather, and Dub Taylor as Fire Tender.

Dr. Charles Stanley: The Power Of A Discerning Spirit

 

 

 

"Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in Your commandments."
(Psalm 119:66) 

Often when life lacks clarity, we can get lost.  We can't distinguish between
good and evil, truth and fiction, an outburst of anger, or a cry for help. 
How do we find our way when things seem so confusing?  

In this classic sermon, Dr. Charles Stanley teaches on the importance of cultivating
a discerning spirit, in order to understand the plan and purpose of God in our lives,
 and to guard us against a world system full of lies and deceptions.

Saturday Poem Corner: The Battle Cry Of Freedom

 

 

 

 Yes, we'll rally round the flag, boys,

We'll rally once again,

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom,

We will gather from the hillside,

We'll gather from the plain,

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom!

The Union forever,

Hurrah! boys, hurrah!

Down with the traitors,

Up with the stars;

While we rally round the flag, boys,

Rally once again,

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.

 

We are springing to the call

Of our brothers gone before,

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom;

And we'll fill our vacant ranks with

A million free men more,

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom. 

 

We will welcome to our numbers

The loyal, true and brave,

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom;

And although they may be poor,

Not a man shall be a slave,

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.  

 

So we're springing to the call

From the East and from the West,

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom;

And we'll hurl the rebel crew

From the land that we love best,

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.

  

The Union forever,

Hurrah! boys, hurrah!

Down with the traitors,

Up with the stars;

While we rally round the flag, boys,

Rally once again,

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.

Flashback Friday: The Twist

 

 

 Released as a single in June, 1960 singer Chubby Checker performed "The Twist" 
for the first time before an audience at the Rainbow Club in Wildwood, New Jersey.
Just weeks later, on August 6, 1960 the song became a national sensation after he
performed it on Dick Clark's American Bandstand, which at that time was broadcast 
on WFIL-TV in Philadelphia.  "The Twist" became a Number One Hit record and dance 
craze from coast-to-coast.  The rest, shall we say, is American rock 'n' roll history.

Dead Sea Discovery That STUNNED Scientists — And the Bible Predicted It!

 

 

 

 "He said to me, 'These waters go out towards the eastern region and go down
into the Arabah. When they enter the sea, the salty waters there become fresh.
And wherever the river flows, there will be swarms of living creatures and a
great number of fish, because these waters flow there and make the salt
water fresh; so where the river flows, everything will live."
(Ezekiel 47:8-9)

"And on that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it toward the
Eastern Sea and the other half toward the Western Sea, in summer and winter alike." 
(Zechariah 14:8)

 All aboard as host Erick Stackelbeck takes us for a boat ride 
  on the mysterious Dead Sea to reveal emerging salt islands, fresh
water springs, and fish-signs which Ezekiel and Zechariah prophesied
in the Bible.  The lowest place on earth is receding fast, but life is
breaking through in ways that science is only beginning to understand...
