The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. Psalm 145:8 Spurgeon's Evening by Evening devotional for November 27th.  "The forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace."—Ephesians 1:7. OULD there be a sweeter word in any language than that word "forgiveness," when it sounds in a guilty sinner's ear, like the silver notes of jubilee to the captive Israelite? Blessed, for ever blessed be that dear star of pardon which shines into the condemned cell, and gives the perishing a gleam of hope amid the midnight of despair! Can it be possible that sin, such sin as mine, can be forgiven, forgiven altogether, and for ever? Hell is my portion as a sinner—there is no possibility of my escaping from it while sin remains upon me—can the load of guilt be uplifted, the crimson stain removed? Can the adamantine stones of my prison-house ever be loosed from their mortices, or the doors be lifted from their hinges? Jesus...

Well, I had a great weekend away, and since I came home, this song has been going round in my head a lot! It's a really good one. Power in the blood by Travis Cottrell. I hope you are as blessed by it as I am being!

Well, Keith wrote some really great songs! This one has also been on my mp3 player for a while, and I thought it must be time to share some of them with you! I hope you enjoy them as much as I am doing.

I've had this on my mp3 for a while, and I think its really great and quite powerful! What do you think of it?

"I look not back - God knows the fruitless effort, The wasted hours, the sinning and regrets; I leave them all with Him that blots the record And graciously forgives and then forgets. I look not forward, God sees all the future, The road that short or long, will lead me home, And He will face with me its every trial, And bear for me the burden that may come. I look not around me - then would fears assail me, So wild the tumult of life's restless sea; So dark the world, so filled with war and evil, So vain the hope of comfort and of ease. I look not inward, that would make me wretched, For I have naught on which to stay my trust; Nothing I see but failures and shortcomings, And weak endeavours crumbling into dust. But I look up - up into the face of Jesus! For there my heart can rest, my fears are stilled; And there is joy, and love and light for darkness, And perfect peace, and every hope fulfilled." by Miss J. H. Hunt. (I saw this in the Travel...

The second night was also really great! John and Randall had taken some people on a field trip yesterday morning and afternoon. They found some fossil coral on top of a hill, surrounded by glaciation scratches, which indicated that it had been warm at one time, then had become really cold! and had since warmed up again, (but it was rather cold up there yesterday!) Everyone seemed to have enjoyed it and learnt a lot!! I think a few more people came to listen last night. John told us some very important information, as well as some really funny stories!! Many people try to blame God for all the bad things that happen. John reminded us that everything God made was very good! so we shouldn't dare blame God for anything bad. It was man's fault. We sinned and rebelled against God. A potted summary: The perfect God became the perfect Man: Jesus- who chose to die for other's sin. He dealt with sin's curse and promises a new Heaven and a new Earth to His disciples where they wil...
