As the year comes to a close, I give thanks to God for the many blessings and challenges 2011 brought and ask for His continued guidance and grace in 2012. \u00a0I also thank you readers of my blog. \u00a0I thought having a blog would be a waste of time, so I began blogging reluctantly. \u00a0These past two years have proven me wrong. \u00a0I have realized this is an effective way to spread the Gospel and reach many folks throughout the world. \u00a0With over 12,500 views to this today (2,367 being just from this month) and 200 posts in 2011, I look forward to continue sharing the labyrinthine ways<\/a> of my own mind with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
I close the year with this beautiful rendition of Psalm 47 by English Renaissance composer Orlando Gibbons. \u00a0 \u00a0I listen to it almost daily. \u00a0It\u2019s a glorious praise of God for who He is and what He has done. \u00a0This may be the most beautiful counterpoint work I have ever heard. \u00a0The ending doxology\u00a0(starts at 3:44)\u00a0is amazing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Happy New Year everyone, and may the Lord bless you throughout all of 2012!<\/div>\n

O clap your hands together all ye people
O sing unto God with the voice of melody
For the lord it high
And to be feared
He is the great king
Upon all the earth<\/p>\n

He shall subdue the people under us
And the nations under our feet
He shall choose out an heritage for us
In the worship of Jacob whom he loved<\/p>\n

God is gone up with a merry noise
And the lord with the sound of the trumpet<\/p>\n

Oh sing praises, sing praises unto our God
Oh sing praises, sing praises unto our King
For God is the king of all the earth
Sing ye praises with understanding<\/p>\n

God reigneth over the heathen
God sitteth upon his holy seat
For God which is highly exalted
Defend the earth as it were with a shield<\/p>\n

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning
And ever shall be world without end<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
