One hymn in the Pentecost section of the Lutheran Service Book is “Holy Spirit, Light Divine.” This hymn has an interesting background: This particular tune is known as “Song 13”, composed by Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625.) This text, adapted from John 16; Glenn and Nancy Bagsby I Thessalonians 5; I Corinthians 6; and Timothy 1, by Andrew Reed (1787-1862), is Let’s venture out north of Kingston and learn a actually interchangeable with another tune, little about Glenn and his wife Nancy. Did you “Canterbury,” which appears in other know that they both served in the United States denominational hymnals. There is also Air Force back in the day? Glenn served in another text which may be sung to either tune: Athens, Greece for 4 years and then came back “Holy Spirit, Truth Divine.” This happens quite to the Pentagon in Virginia for 3 years.

Health & Wellness Dear Friends, "Honor your father and mother..." (Exodus 20:12). Synonyms for honor listed in Webster's Dictionary include esteem and reverence (profound respect combined with love, devotion, or awe). During the month of May, honor is given to mothers, people who died in military service to America, and our Heavenly Father too. This article looks at ways to give well deserved honor. Timothy Merrill, in Home Touch, May 2016, says to honor our mothers: * We empathize with those who lost their mothers early in life. * We remember those women who wanted to be mothers, but couldn't. * We respect those who chose not to be mothers, but gave their lives in pursuit of other causes. * We praise mothers who gave care and lots of love to children of other mothers. * We thank God for our mothers who loved us and took care of us when we could not take care of ourselves alone. Finally, everything that is good about mothers is a reflection of God's goodness toward us. As a mother loves her children, so does God love us. Memorial Day, a Federal Holiday in the United States observed on the last Monday in May, honors people who died while serving in the Armed Forces. The following activities take place to give honor: * Volunteers put flags on graves of veterans in national cemeteries. * People visit cemeteries and memorials, decorating graves with flowers. * Memorial Day parades and services are held. * The American flag is lowered to half staff until noon in remembrance of more than one million persons who died in service of America. At noon the flag and, ..."their memory is raised by the living, who resolve not to let their sacrifice be in vain, but to rise up in their stead and continue their fight for liberty and justice for all." (Memorial Day, Wikipedia). "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind...and love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22: 37- 39). Jesus encourages his followers to honor God because He is God and though doing good works.
