It can be tough when health is fading, but I'm here for you even if I can't do anything against it.

Verlier Dich nicht

There are three pairs in Luke 6:17-26. There on the "level place" there are two groups - a crowd of disciples and a multitude of people. They are there on the "level place" for two reason - to hear Jesus and be healed. But whatever their motive for being there Luke reminds us he "healed them all."

God is a god of mercy who cannot but help those who come to him in need whether they deserve it or not. However, there is a word of warning and promise that he speaks to both disciples and people, both those who come to hear and those who come to be healed. Woe to those who have nothing but worldly riches, for that's all the condolence they'll ever have. For the one who is full there is ultimately hunger, for the one who laughs there is ultimately weeping. Again this is true of all. However, for those who know this truth, that we are "beggarly poor" (the actual meaning of poor in the text) there are blessings. Our hunger will be replaced with satisfaction. Our weeping will be replaced with laughter. All of this comes to us as a gift from Jesus.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich—2 Corinthians 8:9.

Woes & Blessings - Feb 23 - Seventh Sunday after the Epiphany

This song is a heartwarming tribute to the transformative power of love and companionship, as experienced through the special bond between a person and their feline friends. With tender lyrics and soothing melodies, the song conveys how these furry angels can bring joy, comfort, and solace, helping to alleviate feelings of loneliness, sadness, and depression. It's a poignant celebration of the unconditional love and support that pets can provide, and the profound impact they can have on our lives.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
In my quiet little world, I find my peaceful place
Surrounded by furry friends, who bring a smile to my face
Their purrs and snuggles, they chase my blues away
And in their loving eyes, I see a brighter day 

[Chorus]
My cats, they are my everything
Furry angels, who bring me joy that clings
In their company, I find my happy place
Where loneliness and sadness, can't erase 

[Verse 2]
Depression may try to creep, into my quiet little space
But my feline friends, they know just what to say
They curl up tight, and purr away my fears
And in their loving presence, I dry away my tears 

[Chorus]
My cats, they are my everything
Furry angels, who bring me joy that clings
In their company, I find my happy place
Where loneliness and sadness, can't erase 

[Bridge]
I don't need the world outside, to make me whole
My cats, they are my family, my heart and soul
I'll cherish every moment, we share and play
And in their love, I'll find my way 

[Chorus]
My cats, they are my everything
Furry angels, who bring me joy that clings
In their company, I find my happy place
Where loneliness and sadness, can't erase 

[Outro]
So I'll hold them close, and never let them go
My furry angels, who bring me love and show
That even in the darkest night, there's still a shining light
And that's the love of my cats, that guides me through the night.



Furry Angels

'A cosy romp of cream teas, double-barrelled names and murder.' THE SUN

The new book in the Val and Arbie mysteries from the multi-million-copy selling author Faith Martin. 

 One of these guests has a date with death…

Arbuthnot ‘Arbie’ Swift arrives at Dashwood House, a glamorously modern hotel in the up-and-coming resort of Galton-next-the-Sea, but all plans for a relaxing stay are scuppered when one of the guests is found dead.

The body is found in the writing room, the victim part of a set visiting the seaside town for an engagement party, which happens to include Arbie’s old friend, Val.

Familiar with Val and Arbie’s previous experience in solving puzzling crimes, the bride asks the pair to investigate. They quickly discover that the victim had no shortage of enemies, and many of the guests are up to no good. But who is simply hiding a secret, and who is hiding murder?

They said there is no remedy
For what's inside of me
They say that it is the end of me
But it's not really the end of me

'Cause when my time comes
I will meet you in the twilight
Before the day becomes night
And night becomes day
You'll see me for a moment

Meet me in the twilight
Meet me in the twilight
Meet me in the twilight
Meet me in the twilight

When the sunset becomes the moonrise
Meet me in the twilight
'Cause when the day becomes night
And night becomes day
You'll see me for a moment

Meet me in the twilight 
(You'll see me for a moment)
Meet me in the twilight
Meet me in the twilight
Meet me in the twilight
Yeah!
Meet me in the twilight 
(You'll see me for a moment)
Meet me in the twilight
Meet me in the twilight
Meet me in the twilight

'Cause when my time comes
I will meet you in the twilight
Before the day becomes night
And night becomes day
You'll see me for a moment
(You'll see me for a moment)
(You'll see me for a moment)


Meet Me in the Twilight

Growing, growing, gone… 

 Penrith, in the heart of the Lake District, is not the kind of place you can easily vanish.

Certainly not when the members of the Penrith Bingo Club are trying to track you down. But even stalwart sleuth, Amita Khatri, and her son in law, Jason, are foxed this time when a local woman tells them her husband, a mild-mannered academic has gone missing.

And he’s not the only person to disappear. Soon Amita, Jason, and irascible retired copper, Frank, are searching for more people – and some missing money to boot.

From the veg patches of Penrith to the shores of Ullswater, as Jason and Amita comb the Cumbrian countryside for clues, they soon realise they’ve stumbled a case where planting the evidence takes on a whole new meaning. And unless they can unearth some answers soon, they might be the next people to disappear…

St. James Lutheran Church was established in 1982. We are a church rooted on Grace Alone, Faith Alone, and Scripture Alone. And we are a body of sinners and saints focused on spreading the Good News in the Greater Glen Carbon community.

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here, for the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer, and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️
