In keeping with the post's opening line about things you find on the Internet, I happened to click on your yellow flowers and found at the bottom of your profile that you a whole other blog about hymns! What a treasure! I have about 15 hymnals (Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopal, Assembly of God) in my library myself. We sang many of those you included out of the old Cokesbury Hymnal in the Methodist Church when I was a boy. (Thomas Coke and Francis Asbury were the first two American bishops in the Methodist Church, and lent their combined names to Methodism's publishing house in Nashville.) And many of those songs I never heard of before. Two old hymns that I have come to appreciate later in life are "In Immanuel's Land" and "Sometimes A Light Surprises." I hope you plan to continue that blog.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-13998111542621423142008-05-05T09:47:00.000-04:002008-05-05T09:47:00.000-04:00Thanks for unearthing this great article and posti...Thanks for unearthing this great article and posting it for us to read! I may send it to my "tradition-eating locust" brother.<BR/><BR/>Its a fine line to walk in a balanced way between getting too caught up in tradition and forgetting tradition. It easy to get carried away with the past and ignore the here & now, or to get carried away with the here & now and ignore the past.<BR/><BR/>A couple years ago I started ordering the Society of St. James Calendar, which lists all traditional Church festivals for East and West. Next Sunday (Mothers Day) is Pentecost, the birthday of the Church, as our pastor calls it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again......this was very good. I've often visited the Internet Monk site.Jeannellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10506888396193293867noreply@blogger.com
