Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of HOPE the weary world rejoices,
For Yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
I like the co-art...all the hopes...and the song.
ReplyDeleteAnd...if you ever get to Oregon, you better let me know...or else. No, I don't know what the "or else" would be. I just put it in there for effect.
Nance ~ or else... You won't come to PA for pizza and strudel
DeleteOooh, good one.
DeleteThere is the gorgeous essence of a rainbow again, surrounding one of the most beautiful words in the human language.
ReplyDeleteI like all your hopes. But really, chartreuse??? You don't like that?!? It doesn't make your senses soar every time you see it?!? :)
Snowcatcher ~ there I go offending a friend who soars with the color I say I dislike. ;')
DeleteI hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and a restful break from teaching, and that if you make it to the west coast that you head down south a bit to the L.A. area.
ReplyDeleteValerie ~ If I come to the west coast it would likely involve seeing my sister in San Jose. We would surely want to see you too!
Delete#18 on your list would be #1, or very close, on mine :)
ReplyDeleteKen ~ we lived in Eugene for three years in the early 90's and is where we got married. Looking at the comments so far ... #18 seems to be resonating quite loud with those who read this post.
DeleteSince my mom passed in April, I have been singing that song, whenever I find myself alone in the house, full voice and in French, hoping that it will reach Heaven. I cling to those words.
ReplyDeleteDaisy ~ peace be with you and I am sending out some hope to push those sung words to their heavenly home
