SUNDAY SELECTIONS

welcome, to Sunday selections, where I share Sunday's music, history of song writers, tell off on my choir members from time to time, updates on our Ladies Ministries , sometimes it may just be something shared from my heart

Do you remember that old classic "OH I WANT TO SEE HIM"

http://hymnal.calvarybaptistsv.org/94.html

Oh, I Want to See HimWords and Music by R.H. Cornelius

1 John 3:2"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."

As I journey thro' the land, singing as I go,

Pointing souls to Calvary - to the crimson flow,

Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within;

But my Lord leads me on, thro' Him I must win.

Chorus

O I want to see Him, look upon His face,

There to sing forever of His saving grace;

On the streets of glory let me lift my voice

,Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

When in service for my Lord dark may be the night,

But I'll cling more close to Him,

He will give me light;

Satan's snares may vex my soul, turn my tho'ts aside;

But my Lord goes ahead, leads whate'er betide.

Chorus

O I want to see Him, look upon His face,

There to sing forever of His saving grace;

On the streets of glory let me lift my voice,

Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

When in valleys low I look tow'rd the mountain height,

And behold my Savior there,

leading in the fight,

With a tender hand outstretched tow'rd the valley low,

Guiding me, I can see, as I onward go.

Chorus

O I want to see Him, look upon His face,

There to sing forever of His saving grace;

On the streets of glory let me lift my voice,

Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

When before me billows rise form the mighty deep,

Then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep,

And He leads me gently on thru' this world below;

He's a real Friend to me, O I love Him so.

Chorus

O I want to see Him, look upon His face,

There to sing forever of His saving grace;

On the streets of glory let me lift my voice,

Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.

coming up in Oct, there is a music conference in Chattanooga Tenn, my pastors wife, musicians & myself went last year & every year it just gets better, I'm praying that the gallbladder surgery will not hold me back this year

IS PINK OVERTAKING THE OFFICE?

Welcome to PINK SATURDAY where anything goes as long as it's pink LOL I've noticed how pink is seeping into the office, which main colors are blacks/tans hummmm, I mean does pink belong in a safari setting atmosphere LOL, as I began to look around, seems like there were lost of tiny things that didn't stick out before, way back I posted my husbands globe collection which surprisingly has a lot of pink lol, now lets see what has suddenly poped out all of a sudden lol






pink has invaded some of my my button collections
an old cup that holds pens etc, given to me by one of the kids when they were little, seriously has it always been pink LOL


then my eyes scrolled down to my old inspirational albums I've had since the 70's & thought...surely not! hummm, do you think there's pink in here?


I began to pull them back one by one & sure nuff ! that pink fairy had been in there! lol the 3 ladies in the green doesn't show up good in the picture but there big pink flowers all over those dress's lol

FOR THE LOVE OF M&M'S

Even though it doesn't feel like it just yet, Fall is fast approaching, I time for steamed up windows & heavenly smells from all the baking, Fall just seems to make you bake something whether you need it or not,so today we're gonna bake cookies aww I can smell them now LOL

be sure to go by & visit Lisa at http://blessedwithgrace.blogspot.com/
be sure to have pen & paper ready that's right "paper" save that computer ink! LOL you don't want to miss any great recipes!

M & M COOKIES

this recipe can also be divided in half & add choc chips for choc. chip cookies or pecans, the ideas are endless as it makes a lot of cookies!

1 1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
3 eggs

1 1/2 tsp.van.
1 1/2 tbsp. hot water.
5 1/4 c. flour (self rising)
1 lg. bag of m & m's
(sm bag if you are halving it with choc.chips)

begin blending all ingredients. a big mixer is a plus as this is a thick dough but if not hang in there, it's worth it as it eventually blends, suuper jumbo like I made here will yeild about 36, regular sized cookies will yield about 60, this is a great recipe for cookie shareing
