In stillness of morn
Single flame burning
Offering goodness
Each hour keeps churning
In stillness of day
Single flame burning
Sharing lasting peace
Heartbeat keeps churning
In stillness of work
Single flame burning
Energizing joy
Outlook keeps churning
In stillness of night
Single flame burning
Encouraging hope
Life shall keep churning
In stillness of dreams
Single flame burning
Grasping tender hand
True love keeps churning

I live in a world of possibility and opportunity. You look for the light.
I think that you can only be true to yourself. Nobody can live up to other people’s expectations.
Annie Lennox (born 1954) is a Scottish singer and songwriter..
From 1 Peter 5:8-9: “Discipline yourselves; keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.”
Stay alert, darkness lurks
Enemy remains at large
Believing in Savior’s strength
Faith in Him, taking charge
Faith sown with righteousness
Found in Christ’s merciful breath
Calling saints, wear His armor
Recall, Lord conquered death
Witness Calvary’s grace
Jesus suffers for man’s sins
Nailing each one to faith’s cross
His love shall always win
Hope’s perfect Good Shepherd
Always tending to His flock
Revealing glory’s goodness
Peace springs from faith’s bedrock
Hang on to faith’s Savior
Humble selves in mercy’s hands
Casting burdens upon Him
Heaven’s sunrise shall stand
From 1 Peter 5:11: “To Him be the power forever and ever. Amen.”

Real true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.
From Psalm 18:2: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
D. L. Moody (1837-1899), also known as Dwight Lyman Moody, was an American evangelist and Christian teacher. He is frequently credited with inspiring modern mass revivalism.
Poised with poet’s pen
Words painting winter’s landscape—
Creator-inspired
Sunset now descends
Night sky waiting to unfold—
Winter’s voice seeks rest
Pine trees covered white
Wilderness in slumber’s peace—
Winter’s dreams alive

Practicing social distance before anyone knew what it meant, America’s drive-ins have been a fixture since arriving in New Jersey in 1933. Following World War II, the American landscape exploded with new drive-ins. By 1952, outdoor movie attendance exceeded indoor theaters for the first time. During the 1950s, the number of drive-ins peaked at 5,000 or so.
