"Eternal God, unchanging
Mysterious and unknown
Your boundless love unfailing
In grace and mercy shown
Bright seraphim in ceaseless flight
Around your glorious throne
Their voices raised both day and night
In praise to you alone

Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God
Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God!

Lord, we are weak and frail,
Helpless in the storm
Surround us with your angels
Hold us in your arms
Our cold and ruthless enemy
His pleasure is our harm
Rise up, oh Lord, and he will flee
Before our Sovereign God

Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God!
Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God!

Let every creature in the sea
And every flying bird
Let all the mountains, all the fields
And valleys of the earth
Let all the moons and all the stars
Throughout the universe
Sing praises to the Living God
Who rules them by His word

Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God
Hallelujah!
Glory be to our great God!"

A New Cooking Find...

I am always looking for new recipes to cook because I get incredibly bored with the same old-same old. During the week we live off of my crock-pot cooking, and I came across this site while searching for recipes. Maybe someone else can benefit, too:)

Deep Thoughts Or Not

As I was thinking about the vast nature of God's creation, I realized that my musings could be considered "deep thoughts." Naturally, Jack Handey popped into my mind. He had many a profound thought voiced on SNL via Deep Thoughts With Jack Handey, but only one really stuck with me through the years..

"Better not take a dog on the space shuttle, because if he sticks his head out when you're coming home, his face might burn up." - Jack Handey

Why this stuck with me, I will never know.

Back to pondering God's creation...

"For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist." Colossians 1:16 & 17 (NKJV)

I like to think about this verse and go on a head trip. I like the NKJV because "consist" is used as opposed to "hold together" in the NIV and newer translations. "In HIM (emphasis mine) all things consist (again, my emphasis)." In Him all things consist. In him all things are. "For You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.” (Rev 4: 11b)
God could say, "STOP," everything would cease to exist, and we would never even know the difference. We would just cease. But God would still Be.

To quote Ted "Theodore" Logan, "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K."
