    "The Valley Song"

     

    You have led me to sadness

    I have carried this pain

    On a back bruised, nearly broken

    I'm crying out to You

     

    I will sing of Your mercy

    That leads me through valleys of sorrow

    To rivers of joy

     

    When death like a gypsy

    Comes to steal what I love

    I will still look to the heavens

    I will still seek Your face

     

    But I fear you aren’t listening

    Because there are no words

    Just the stillness and the hunger

    For a faith that assures

     

    Alleluia, alleluia

    Alleluia, alleluia

     

    While we wait for rescue

    With our eyes tightly shut

    Face to the ground using our hands

    To cover the fatal cut

     

    Though the pain is an ocean

    Tossing us around, around, around

    You have calmed greater waters

    Higher mountains have come down

    "We Live"

     

    There’s a cross on the side of the road

    Where a mother lost a son

    How could she know that morning he left

    Would be the last time she’d trade with him for a little more time

    So she could say she loved him one more time

    And hold him tight

    But with life we never know

    When we’re coming to the end of the road

    So what do we do then

    With tragedy around the bend?

     

    Chorus: (2 x’s)

    We live we love

    We forgive and never give up

    Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above

    Today we remember to live and to love

     

    There is a man who waits for the tests

    To see if the cancer has spread yet

    And now he asks, “so why did I wait to live till it was time to die?

    If I could have the time back how I’d live

    Life is such a gift

    So how does this story end?

    Well this is your story and it all depends

    So don’t let it become true

    Get out and do what we were meant to do

     

    Chorus: (2 x’s)

     

    Waking up to another dark morning

    People are mourning

    The weather in life outside is storming

    But what would it take for the clouds to break

    For us to realize each day is a gift somehow someway

    So get our heads up out of the darkness

    And spark this new mindset and start to live life cuz it ain’t gone yet

    And tragedy is a reminder to take off the blinders

    And wake up and live the life we’re supposed to take up

    Moving forward with all our heads up cuz life is worth living

     

    Chorus: (3 x’s)

    "Lifesong"

     

    Empty hands held high

    Such small sacrifice

    If not joined with my life

    I sing in vain tonight

     

    May the words I say

    And the things I do

    Make my lifesong sing

    Bring a smile to You

     

    Chorus:

    Let my lifesong sing to You

    Let my lifesong sing to You

    I want to sign your name to the end of this day

    Knowing that my heart was true

    Let my lifesong sing to You

     

    Lord, I give my life

    A living sacrafice

    To reach a world in need

    To be Your hands and feet

     

    So may the words I say

    And the things I do make my lifesong sing

    Bring a smile to you

     

    Chorus:

     

    (2x’s)

    Hallelujah

    Hallelujah

    Let my lifesong sing to You

     

    Chorus: (2x’s)

    My oldest brother used to watch TOS reruns back in the 70s.I have really faint memories of watching it with him,and of playing with his Trek toys (he had a plastic fold-out Enterprise bridge playset with a turbolift spinning thing).He had a lot of the Mego figures....

    I don't remember if I liked it or not as a kid.I guess,I did.

    I was more into the Bionic Man back then.

    I got hooked on Trek around the time of the release of The Wrath of Khan.

    I haven't been here much lately (and when I have been,it's usually just been a quick single post and I'm gone again)....

    I remember a post about Rikerchick being sick.

    Is she doing any better?

    (I hope so)

    B)

     

    I don't really know her,but I hate hearing about anybody being ill.

    I liked the way former major leaguer Dante Bichette congratulated his son (pitched for Florida) and gave him a big grin and a thumbs up,after the poor kid left the game,knowing his team was going to loose.

    That was awesome.

    I guess I'll be cheering for Hawai'i.

    My boys from California lost.So did Louisiana (I wanted to see a CA-LA U.S. final).

    Back in 1988 Vince McMahon was approached by a young guy from Jamestown,New York.The youngster had created a pro wrestling games (played with dice and a pencil) while sitting in class at high school.Would the WWF be interested in buying the game idea?

    Nope.Vince wasn't.

    So the young guy gets a loan from his grandmother and prints up his first batch of games.

    The game Champions of the Galaxy became an instant success.Today,it's hugely popular and generates that once young guy a small fortune every year in merchandise sales.

    Wonder if Vince regrets that move?

    Probably not.

    I didn't want George Romero's original Night of the Living Dead to be remade,because the film was so iconic,and so well acted (especially by Duane Jones).

    Not just a horror film,NOTLD dealt with racism,and lots of issues which were taboo in the 1960s.

     

    But,I have to say that Tony Todd nailed his performance in the role made famous by Duane Jones.And I usually like anything Patricia Tallman is in,since she's an awesome actor as well.

     

    I suppose I'd hate to see classic religious films like The Ten Commandments or King of Kings remade,UNLESS...they are remade by a Christian production company.Secular studios wouldn't do justice to these films,and would probably throw in a lot of things which would be offensive to Christians.

    Next Thing You Know (Thirteen)"

     

    I remember when I was thirteen

    I saw a picture on my TV screen

    The Reverend Billy Graham and the people sing “Just As I Am”

    And I felt like You were talking to me

     

    And the whole world seemed to fade away

    Until I heard my mother say

    “Son, are you ok? Do you wanna pray?

    And that became the hour I first believed

     

    Chorus:

    And next thing you know

    I’m high and flying, next thing you know

    My heart is in Your hands, next thing you know

    There is no denying, next thing you know

    I’m a brand new man

     

    Well I wish I could say I always stayed right there

    And I did until my freshman year

    But the world was pulling me along way from thirteen

    And You were calling but I didn’t hear

     

    Still I knew there was something more

    So one day my knees hit the dorm room floor

    I said “If You’re there and if You really care

    Come and talk to me like I was thirteen”

     

    Chorus:

     

    I Got a picture in my head today

    Of how Heaven might look someday

    I see the people there so I pull up a chair

    And their stories they blew me away

     

    ‘Cause I can see it on every face

    Their evidence of grace

    And as I listen it occurs to me

    Everybody’s got their own thirteen

     

    (2X’s)

    So what’s your story about His glory?

    You gotta find your place in the history of grace

     

    Chorus: (2X’s)

    Augustine of Hippo, 'the greatest of the fathers', a libertine turned philosopher, is revered equally by Catholics and Protestants

     

    B)

    I don't think so.

    I'm a protestant and I've heard of Augustine,but revere him?

    Not especially.

    And I have never ever heard of a St.Hermes..... B)

     

    Meh...

    I'm messing up your topic.I'd better skeedaddle.

    I love the Little League World Series.

    I watch it every year.

    I missed most of the game between Curacao and Guam.

    But I watched California beat Florida (I was cheering for California,but felt terrible for those kids from Florida...especially when most of them started crying after the final out) B)

    I also watched Hawaii-Louisiana,and assorted other international games.

    Whenever I have the time,I'm watching it.

    The professionals could learn a lot from these kids.Might do their overblown egos some good.

    My dad told me that when he was 5-years old (that would have been 1932),he and his friends would walk a few miles to watch public hangings in rural Louisiana.He said whole families would show up with picnic baskets and bright blankets,as if they were coming to watch a 4th of July fireworks display instead of a man being put to death.

    That reminds me of a night on C2C,where some guy called up and claimed he was a time-traveler from 2012 (or something....this was in 2001 or so).

    So,Bell and Noory are yaking it up with this clown (who was quite serious),when they started to get phone calls from dozens and dozens of callers all claiming to be either time-travelers or alien-human hybrids with knowledge of the future.A huge fight broke out between the time-travelers and future-seers about what great catastrophe was imminent and on what day our world would be destroyed by plague,astral collision,nuclear holocaust,alien invasion,etc.....

    That was a hoot.
