Honestly, one of the most beautiful arrangements of this beloved hymn:

Performed by the BYU Concert Choir, from their CD “All Creatures of Our God and King” from Tantara Records, directed by Mack Wilberg.***
This one is on my “Songs I Want Played at my Funeral” playlist…

***(Also available at Amazon, but that link doesn’t have samples available for listening)

Sometimes, a picture really IS worth a thousand words:

It’s an oldie but a goodie: ***
Churchill: Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?
Socialite: My goodness, Mr. Churchill… Well, I suppose… we would have to discuss terms, of course…
Churchill: Would you sleep with me for five pounds?
Socialite: Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!
Churchill: Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.
***(This is a very old joke where the participants vary dramatically from each telling. It’s very unlikely – though not impossible – that the joke originated from Churchill.)

I got brave this year, and made a photo book online for my Mom (she should already have the hard copy in her hot little hands….)
(Click on the picture to take you to the Shutterfly site, where you can view it for yourself.
Once there, click on “View Photo Book”, then “View Full Screen” – hope you enjoy it!)
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!
I love you very much ♥♥♥

The story goes that as Benjamin Franklin emerged from Independence Hall at the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on September 18, 1787, a woman asked him, “Well Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”.
Mr. Franklin replied, “A republic, madam – if you can keep it.”
Ladies and Gentlemen, in looking over the events of the past few months, I would submit to you that Mr. Franklin’s Republic is still intact.
