Some Of My Favorite Hymns

I just want to post a couple of my favorite hymns here for your listening pleasure.

New Yard Project

I'm working on clearing out a lot of the brush at mom's house now, she's got a pretty big yard with a lot of undergrowth and shrubbery running wild. I've gotten most of the stuff I can get with the mower. Now I'm working on this area. This is a hill that me and my brothers used to slide down on cardboard box sleds when we were younger, when we would come to Grandma's house for vacation. I'm going to try to get it trimmed way back and kill of some of it. In the first picture, you'll see how thick and far out it is. The yellow stuff up front, I've been pouring vinegar on for the past couple weeks. If you didn't know it, vinegar is a great way to kill unwanted shrubs and weeds(and plants you want if used improperly) without using harmful chemicals. The second picture is after I went through it with the riding mower. My youngest brother lived with mom up until this last summer, and he didn't do a whole lot with the yard. Mom's a little lonely over at her place, and she gets worried at night because of where her house is, so I'm going to move over there with her, so I can help her out around the house.

Just checking out Blogger

I used to use Blogger years ago, but left it in favor of another blog site. I'm checking out Blogger again, to see if it's gotten any better to where I want to use it and transfer over one of my other blogs.

Psalm 19:7-11

This has been one of my favorite Psalms for a long time now. We used to sing it at the church I grew up in, from time to time. I was reading this text the other day, when something struck me that had never struck me before. King David delighted in the Torah, the Law of God. Where we look at the Torah, and get mostly bored once we get past Genesis, King David delighted in it all. Look at how he describes the Torah, and how much joy he takes in the Law of God. He states that it is "more to be desired" than "fine gold", and that it is "sweeter also than honey". He describes the Torah as being able to convert the soul, enlighten the eyes, rejoice the heart, and make wise the simple. It's no wonder that God describes David as being a man after his own heart.

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
(Psa 19:7-11 KJV)
