The Wheat of Heaven
Taken from the stalk of Calvary
Placed within the dark, cold earth
Silent lies the Wheat of heaven
There to wait resurrection birth
Left alone in fragrant seed coat
Till the time had come to pass
It would soon give way to victory
Life eternal sprang forth at last
When

POEM
Jesus! whose blood so freely stream’d
To satisfy the law’s demand;
By Thee from guilt and wrath redeem’d,
Before the Father’s face I stand.
To reconcile offending man,
Make Justice drop her angry rod;
What creature could have form’d the plan,
Or who fulfill it but a God?

Give me amid the confusion of the day
the calmness of the everlasting hills,
Break the

He had no cornfields or fisheries, but He could spread a table for five thousand and have bread and fish to spare. He walked on no beautiful carpets or velvet rugs, but He walked on the waters of the Sea of Galilee and they supported Him.
When He died, few men mourned. But a black crepe was hung

As a child, my second home was a baby-sitters house. My father worked on rotating shifts as a policeman, so often times we even slept there. My sitter was one BIG lady - over 300lbs. After many times of wetting her bed, she took away my bed sleeping privileges and forced me to
