SUNDAY CHOICE – More Than Life I Love Thee Lord – By Charles Schokman Image Source : youtube “Your love means more than life to me, and I praise you as long as I live, I will pray to you” Psalms 63: 3-4 More Than Life I Love Thee Lord.

Like when you perceive an answer to prayer or one of life’s good gifts comes your way, but how about when things aren’t going so well? ALL your heart means at ALL times. Even when God seems quiet. Even when he says wait. And even when he says no. And, yes, even when bad things happen. Continuing to love God even when bad things happen or when good things don’t happen is key ...

To Sir, with Love – by Ishan De Lanerolle ‘The hymns have faded, the prayers are said, The chapel echoes with the silence of the dead. Yet in our hearts, his voice remains, A symphony of guidance through joy and pains.’ Tribute to a Great Master Unlike Any Other To Sir, with Love. In the early 2000s, Sir began experiencing persistent and unusual pains—one day his eye, the next his toe, then his hand and the list goes on.
