Emmanuel

He begat her, she begat He

28 generations Abraham to our King

Honorable soul, worthy indeed

Chosen by God, a prophecy to read

 

A promise fulfilled, a promise foretold

A prophecy kept in the stories of old

An angel appears in a worthy man’s dream

Do not fear what this woman brings

 

For the prophets have told our King will arrive

Through a virgin birth, welcome this child

Welcome he did, fears laid to rest

Marrying her, passing the test

 

Laying not with her till the child was born

Foregoing ridicule, mockery, scorn

Trusting prophecy, and an angel sent

Trusting our Savior’s approaching decent

 

Perfectly recorded, told so well

“God with us,” Emmanuel

Life Lessons from The Wizard of Oz

I saw The Wizard of Oz for the first time when I was about 3 years old.  The movie had a powerful impact on me.  I was mesmerized by it.  I loved the singing, adventure, and friendships.  So many scenes captivated me.  I remember being very upset when Dorothy was trapped in the witch’s castle and the hour glass was almost empty.  I was crying from fear she was going to die.  I also cried, a time after this, when I watched The Cowboys and John Wayne was killed.  I thought he was really dead.  It was a relief to learn we don’t really kill people in movies; they’re just acting.  So many things about The Wizard of Oz impacted my life, including the overarching theme:  there’s no place like home.
