SOMETHING GOT A HOLD ON ME

I remember how this song had my Mother's church in Mississippi rocking as if the building had been lifted from its foundation. With a singing pastor, Rev. Addison, who had a raspy voice like James Cleveland, he would “juice” up the lyrics as he led before the choir chimed in. After the song, his sermon spoke about transformation. Yes, your life changes when you place God front and center.

2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." Oh yes- he's worthy to be praised! So this Sunday morning - Let the church say Amen!

Happy Sunday! Blessings!

A PRAISING GOOD TIME

By Vernalee

You don't have to be in the church house to feel the spirit. Such was the case when Oprah brought a number of musical greats together. Their voices and spirits can take you to a great place of worship. Listen to their harmony and let's give praise to God wherever we are.

Happy Sunday and Blessings!

THAT’S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR

By Vernalee

This remake of an old song certainly hits home. We are blessed when we have friends, and truly blessed when we have genuine sincere friends. Lest not forget that we have to be a friend. I'm thankful that I have people whose shoulders will bear the weight of my leaning; whose ears hear my words even if they are voiced trembling; whose hands that if necessary will wipe my shedding tear away that I try to hide. Let me add the icing on the cake. I am blessed to have a praying friend who will bend that knee with me and take it to The Lord in prayer. Now …that's the type of friend that some dream about, the friend that I am grateful to have in my life! A friend in need is a friend indeed.
