    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 2, 2019
     | 7,739 views

They’re there to give you a little bit of the history of the hymn. If you look at the bottom of “Hark! 5he Herald Angels Sing,” it says that ...read more

We need to eat right and exercise regularly if we want a strong, healthy body. Most of us know something about that, even if we don’t do what we know to do. But ...read more
