Beautiful Savior….
This is one I know by heart and love. There isn't a more sublime hymn than this one, especially the St. Olaf choir, singing the F. Melius Christiansen arrangement. It is a love song to Jesus with great sentiment and passion, the tune and words known and felt - expressing commitment to the Lord. It should be sung at my funeral perhaps - maybe with a full stream of tears flowing down the cheeks of my beloved family.
Fair is the sunshine… The sun was not in view when I first went out with Tuppence this morning, but with 3 or 4 inches of new snow it is a fair day. And now the sky is blue on this April fools day. I smile as she looks at me with a cocked head from the hallway full of curiosity and wonder.
I am not in the mood for an April fools prank. It would not be funny to feign symptoms of COVID-19 and then say “April fool”. But, horrifyingly, I saw a video of someone coughing on purpose on a store clerk. It was revolting, not funny.
Better to turn attention to the sublime.
