The air temperature hadn’t risen much from the night before by the time people started taking the plunge into Trinidad Lake last Saturday, but that didn’t stop people from doing it anyway. Spectators and participants congregated along the shore at the Trinidad Lake State Park Boat Ramp mid-morning Saturday, Feb.
PRAISE YOU IN THIS STORM
I was sure by now God, You would have reached down And wiped our tears away Stepped in and saved the day And once again I say, “A-men” and it’s still rainin’ But as the thunder rolls I barely hear Your whisper through the rain “I’m with you” And as Your mercy falls I’ll raise my hands and praise the God who gives And takes away CHORUS And I’ll praise You in this storm And I will lift my hands For You are who You are No matter where I am And every tear I’ve cried You hold in Your hand You never left my side And though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm I remember when I stumbled in the wind You heard my cry, You raised me up again But my strength is almost gone How can I carry on If I can’t find You? But as the thunder rolls I barely hear Your whisper through the rain “I’m with you” And as Your mercy falls I’ll raise my hands and praise the God who gives And takes away REPEAT CHORUS I lift my eyes unto the hills Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord The maker of heaven and earth I lift my eyes unto the hills Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord The maker of heaven and earth REPEAT CHORUS .
The Lord is near to all who call on Him in truth
Last week our world was rocked by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a sovereign Democratic nation that has resisted Russia’s attempts to pull it into its orbit. When I was pastor of an English speaking church in Nuremburg, Germany, we often had visitors from Ukraine. Since I started writing this column, I have received more than 2,000 online views in Ukraine.
In Loving Memory of Audrey Eugene Vasquez “Gene”
On your second birthday in heaven. He is gone from us forever, But in our hearts he will always be; ʻTil some day we too will join him, In the heavenly abode of our Lord.
