Pilgrim’s Progress, the great classic of English literature and Christian literature. I’ve found the old cartoon version posted on Youtube. This cartoon version is very instructive for discipleship and inspirational for persevering in the Christian life. I encourage you to watch. It’s in 4 parts and in total is 37 minutes.
A great Christmas Song… it goes beyond the sweet songs of Christmas to the heart of the gospel….
Here are the lyrics:
It was not a silent night
There was blood on the ground
You could hear a woman cry
In the alleyways that night
On the streets of David’s town
And the stable was not clean
And the cobblestones were cold
And little Mary full of grace
With the tears upon her face
Had no mother’s hand to hold
It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
With every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
Noble Joseph at her side
Callused hands and weary eyes
There were no midwives to be found
In the streets of David’s town
In the middle of the night
So he held her and he prayed
Shafts of moonlight on his face
But the baby in her womb
He was the maker of the moon
He was the Author of the faith
That could make the mountains move
It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
With every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
For little Mary full of grace
With the tears upon her face
It was a labor of love

It’s amazing that I still get hits on this website even though I have not added anything since January. I’m working on cleaning this site up so that it can be more useful and that the links actually work. Thanks for checking this site.
A few weeks ago my wife and I made our first ever political contribution. It was for Mike Huckabee. This blog is not a political blog but I wanted to encourage you, as an individual citizen, to look into this candidate for president. I have never been so positive about a politician before.
Huckabee on Nightline on Dec. 3, 2007.

"I am not what I ought to be. I am not what I want to be. I am not what I hope to be. But still, I am not what I used to be. And by the grace of God, I am what I am." John Newton
