Sunday's Hymn

Today, for Pentecost, we sang hymns in several of the native languages found in our congregation, including Mandarin, Japanese, Tagalog, French, German, Spanish, Dutch and Slovak. I posted What a Friend We Have in Jesus in Tagalog last week. Here’s another of the hymns we sang. Can you tell which hymn it is and what language it’s in?

Ja neviem, prečo milosti
zdroj Boh mi otvoril,
ni prečo zlásky Pán Ježiš
ma sebe vyvolil.

Zbor
Ale komu uveril som, viem,
presvedčeny som,
že On je mocný
ma sebe zachovať veryným,
až kým príde Jeho deň!

Here’s clue. This hymn was my husband’s favorite and I’ve mention that here previously.

Saturday's Old Photo

This photo was taken in a house we lived in on Liberty Dr. in Wheaton, IL. We lived in this house for about a year while my dad was a student at Wheaton. I attended first grade while we lived there.

The children in the photo are my sister and I—she’s in front on the right and I’m in the middle of the back—and the three Mainprize children—Debbie on my left, Danny on my right, and Susan in front beside my sister. These were the children my sister and I played with most often. Their father worked at Scripture Press as a writer and my dad worked in the shipping department, but I don’t think that’s how we met their family.

Given my sister’s outfit, I think it’s safe to assume this photo was taken sometime in the summer. My mother’s notes on the back say that this was a slumber party. I remember spending one warm summer night with the Mainprize children in the big backyard of this home catching fireflies to carry around in old jars. Do suppose we did that right after we posed for this photo?

Round the Sphere Again

Equipping the Saints
I paid good money—and it was worth every cent—to get the DVDs. Now you can see the lectures on YouTube for free. “Especially geared for prospective secular college students, but highly recommended for all believers!”

Following the Crowd
Everyone whose judgment I trust is recommending that you see this. I haven’t worked up the courage to watch it yet, but you go ahead anyway. Okay.

Ministering to Us Weekly
by giving “you a chuckle or a “Hunh!” or two.” Dan Phillips accomplishes this service in his Friday Hither and Thither.
