I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.
Monday 19th December 2016
Only a few sleeps left before the big day. Cannot wait, can you?
Another selection from Sandra, and a great choice it is. I have posted two very different approaches but both are very powerful in their own right. Hope you enjoy both I certainly did.

formerly known as
I am a person with plenty of time on my hands. In the last couple of years I have started these blogs/posts mainly to speak my mind and generally release some pent-up frustration.
In my early years I played the guitar ( and still do) for several bands, covering various styles, rock and roll, country and middle of the road.I played as a soloist, writing my own songs, lyrics and poems, and started in folk clubs. So I thought this might be a good way to express myself and hope that I can pass on to other people. While I have been doing this I have also discovered other people whose writing I also like so am learning as I travel this road to discovery.
Update… Have now posted a few and received some good responses, and discovered other good pages. my music had become a little more prominent due to frequenting folk clubs and jamming sessions.
Thank you and Please enjoy..

I certainly enjoyed them as well, Gerry. The poem itself is one of my favorites. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote it in 1863. We were in the midst of the Civil War, and he was watching the nation that his own grandfather’s generation had brought to birth struggling to barely survive. He had recently lost his beloved wife in a fire that destroyed their home. When he wrote that last two stanzas, he was writing words that he could write only by faith. What he saw and heard around him gave no evidence of the fact that God was alive or that right would prevail. But by faith he knew that both things were true, and he wrote the words that have encouraged generations of other men and women to keep believing when there was no evidence except God’s Word. To me it is the one Christmas song that is most relevant to today’s generation. Thanks for sharing it.
