Flashback Friday: When Will I See You Again

 

 

 

  Released in September 1974, "When Will I See You Again" sung by the lovely American
 soul trio Sheila Ferguson, Fayette Pickney, and Valerie Holiday, better known as
The Three Degrees, was one of the most successful recordings of the 
Philadelphia Sound era of the late 1960's and early 1970's.

Written by the premier songwriting and production duo Kenny Gamble
and Leon Huff, the first station in America to play this song on the air
was none other than Philly's own Famous 56 Boss Radio WFIL-AM.

This song, however, had been initially released in Great Britain in June, 1974,
 where it spent two weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart.

  "When Will I See You Again" became a favorite of Prince (now King) Charles III, who 
 later invited The Three Degrees to perform the song at his 30th birthday party in 1978.

Upon release across the pond in America, this sensational hit record, which has since
  become an international Karaoke favorite, reached Number #4 on the R & B Chart, 
Number #2 on the Pop Singles Chart, and the coveted Number #1 spot on the
Adult Contemporary Chart in the autumn of 1974.

 In 2017, "When Will I See You Again" was the Number #67 song 
on Billboard's list of the 100 Greatest Girl Groups Of All Time.

into the presence of God in the Holy of Holies to make a sacrifice,
an atonement for the sins of the nation.

Thursday's Thoughts: Ignorance Or Ignominy...A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words

 

 

"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light
and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter."
(Isaiah 5:20)

 A confirmed and virulent hater of President Donald Trump, N.C. Democratic
 candidate Shelly Headen once wrote on Facebook: "I think our only hope is an
 attack on U.S. soil...preferably  Alabama, Louisiana, where stupid people live."   
Meanwhile, on X she wrote: "Ready for the MAGAs to die off."

 "A picture is worth a thousand words." Never was this old adage more true
 than when I saw the photograph of a smiling Shelly Headen taken before the 
ovens used to burn the bodies of Jewish and other prisoners being 
 held at Dachau concentration camp in Germany during WWII. 

 This casual image of a candidate running for public office is far more
 disturbing to me than any of her hateful and ignorant posts, which are 
merely a reflection of the dark and disturbing times we are living in today.

According to her profile on Ballotpedia, Headen believes every child in North Carolina
 should have the right to a high quality education. But, what about the children in
Alabama and Louisiana, where she claims, "stupid people live" and who she 
thinks should die in an attack on U.S. soil? 

 Terrorist bombs and bullets do not discriminate when it comes to murdering innocent
 people-including children. Neither, might I add, did the Nazis in charge of concentration
 camps like Dachau. The caption on her post above reminds me of the recent videos
 uploaded to social media showing women throwing baby dolls into dishwashers
 and dryers and laughing about it.

Although the Guilford County Democratic Party and the North Carolina House
Democratic Caucus have since withdrawn their support for Headen,
 the damage has already been done.

Furthermore, if she thinks President Trump is the most disgusting man to
 walk the face of the earth and is on par with the likes of Adolf Hitler, that
is her prerogative as an American citizen with the right to freedom of
speech and expression.

  My only suggestion is that next time she should look in the mirror first.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wednesday's Word: Mishmereth " Safeguard"

 

 

 

 The Hebrew word, "Mishmereth" means to safeguard, to be covered, and kept from danger.
  Throughout the Scriptures, God is referred to as the Protector of the believer, keeping
  us safe from spiritual and physical harm in this lost and fallen world.

 "I Lift Up My Eyes To The Hills"

 

I lift up my eyes to the hills.

From where does my help come?

My help comes from the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to slip;

your Protector will not slumber.

Behold, the Protector of Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD is your keeper;

the LORD is the shade on your right hand.

The sun will not strike you by day,

nor the moon by night. 

The LORD will guard you from all evil;

He will preserve your soul.

The LORD will watch over your coming and going,

both now and forevermore.
 

(PSALM 121)
