"Earnestly pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift
of prophecy. For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God.
Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit. But he who
prophecies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort."
(1 Corinthians 14:1-3)
Les continues his walk through the Bible with Paul's first letter

"Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies
never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!"
(Lamentations 3:22-23)
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God, my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee.
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand has provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Lord unto me.
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, love.
Pardon for sin and peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine and ten thousand beside.
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand has provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness,
Lord unto me.
"Great Is Thy Faithfulness"

all the dramatic elements of a sudden summer thunderstorm.
This classic "Silly Symphony" from 1937 won Uncle Walt a highly
deserved Academy Award for Best Short Subjects Cartoon.
