"It is Well with My Soul" is one of my much loved hymns. I don’t know if you might be familiar with the chronicle behind it or not, but the man who authored the lyrics of this beautiful hymn lost his whole family at sea. Horatio Spafford, a successful businessman, had dispatched his family ahead of

On Judgment Day
Dedicated to my Brother in Christ Larry Livingston
There is a day
That is not too far away
When the clouds shall part
And in every man’s heart fear shall start.
Because on that day all shall see
Jesus the Lord coming on the billowy sea
Our hearts will tremble and be filled with

I am told that there was a rock on the North Sea,
just off the Firth of Tay, Scotland.
This rock proved very dangerous to many ships,

the rock was hidden just below the surface.

by the Abbot of Aberbrothok, so

The Romans sometimes compelled a captive to be joined face-to-face with a dead body, and to bear it about until the horrible emanating smell destroyed the life of the living victim. Virgil describes this cruel punishment:
