Pa Rum Pum Pum Pum….
Dr. Mike Murphy December 7, 2016 It is funny how the smallest of things can trigger our fondest of memories! While flipping through the channels of the television the other day I saw a commercial for an upcoming broadcast of The Little Drummer Boy. In that split second, a smile came to my face as I remembered all the years as a young boy watching the story unfolded on the television screen. Before I even knew it, I found myself going online and listening to the familiar song I had grown up hearing. We all have heard the song more …
THE TRUE STORY OF PAIN AND HOPE BEHIND “I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY”
In March of 1863, 18-year-old Charles Appleton Longfellow walked out of his family’s house on Brattle Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and—unbeknownst to his family—boarded a train bound for Washington, D.C., traveling over 400 miles across the eastern seaboard in order to join President Lincoln’s Union army to fight in the Civil War.

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day (Civil War background)
In all of the darkness that surrounds us, it’s so good to remember that God knows our pain and struggles, and He comforts us as no one else can. A newer take on the beautiful Longfellow poem, “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.” May each one of you be touched in a special way this Christmas by His unfailing love. I know I am so grateful to be alive to serve Him–King of Kings and Lord of Lords–and the One who always answers our prayers. –Jill Martin Rische Listen here: Watch this video on YouTube
An Awesome God
Oh, what an awesome God we serve, We see His hand everywhere… On land and sea, and in the sky, Wherever we look He’s there; Sometimes, when we expect it least, When all is quiet and still… His presence overwhelms our soul… As the whole room He doth fill.

How awesome it is to witness The hand of His Spirit there… Drawing the lost to repentance… In His tender loving care. Oh, what an awesome God we serve, …
