Hymn composed in 1912 by Reverend George Bennard (1873-1958)=
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
Refrain
In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
Refrain
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.
Refrain

BOY, WINDY OR NOT, THE HELICOPTER STAYED BUSY TODAY WITH WATER DROPS HERE ON THIS MOUNTAIN "WILD" FIRE.. LOOKS STRANGE AT NIGHT.. REMINDS ME OF WHEN WE WENT CAMPING ALL THE TIME OF HOW PEOPLE STRUNG UP "CHRISTMAS LIGHTS" TO LIGHT UP THEIR CAMPSITES AT NIGHT! IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS FOLLOWING A LONG, LONG TRAIL OR SOMETHING..HOMER JOE HAD TO GO FOR HIS HAIRCUT LAST FRIDAY.. SO WHEN I GOT HOME, I TOLD NORMAN THAT THEY HAD ALL KINDS OF BABY CHICKS AT PAMPERED PETS FOR SALE.. SO SATURDAY WHEN WE WENT TO PICK UP OUR NEW SHOWER STALL, HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO GET 20.... BUT WHEN HE WAS FINISHED PICKING THIS AND THAT, HE HAD 34! NOW WE HAVE TO BUILD A BIGGER PEN FOR THEM. BUT FOR NOW THE ONE WE HAVE IS SUFFICIENT BECAUSE OF NEEDING A HEAT LAMP
IT'S SO MUCH EASIER WHEN YOU HAVE THE MOTHER HEN THAN IT IS TO HAVE ONLY CHICKS... BUT WE'VE RAISED THE CHICKS BEFORE WITHOUT THE MOTHER.. SO "LORD WILLING" THEY WILL BE FINE! GUESS THAT SAYING IS TRUE.. YOU CAN TAKE THE BOY OUT OF THE COUNTRY, BUT YOU CANT TAKE THE COUNTRY OUT OF THE BOY... but for him it should say... YOU CAN TAKE THE BOY OUT OF THE COUNTRY.. BUT HE WILL GO BACK AND ACT LIKE HE NEVER LEFT ... (*.*) LOL
