I'm agnostic...but I swear...if there was ever anything that could make me convert to Christianity, it'd be liturgical music. I don't know what the presence of Christ, or god, or whatever, would feel like, but these musical pieces fill me with what I can only describe as awe. It's like seeing the grand canyon but with my ears.

My mother passed away on August 14th, 2017 and was laid to rest on August 19th, 2017. When my dad and I were sitting down with the pastor, this is the only hymn I could think of. It's a beautiful song, unfortunately not being trained vocalists, we didn't really do the song justice. Of course when I hear this song it now makes me cry......miss you mom.

What is wrong with live and let live. Truly...why do you have to be so negative. I don't search you out to hurt you. There is beauty everywhere, why can't you see it and be content.

I don't think of the Titanic but a little country church sitting among the beautiful hills of Ohio. I can still see the trees out the windows and feel the ages pass. What a composer. What a conductor. And what heavenly voices. God is good.

This brings me to a time when my maternal grandmother would sing this to me. As a little boy, frightened of storms at night, her voice and the words of this song would return peace to me. It also spoke of her faith in the Almighty and her dearest hope of the Resurrection. Even to this day when the storms of this existence assault me, I hear her singing this and I know the Presence of God once more. What can separate us from the love of God? Only ourselves.

Dear Nicholas, There is indeed a heaven. But, my friend, hoping alone will not get you there. There is but one way, and one way only to heaven. His Name is Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus tells us in John's Gospel, Chapter 14, verse 6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6).And... "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12).So, how do we get to heaven through Jesus Christ?Jesus Himself tells us: 1. Repent of our sins against God: "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:3).2. Call upon His Name; Ask Him to save you, forgive you of your sins: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13).3. Live for, serve, and worship Jesus Christ only 'til the end of your days: "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." (Matthew 24:13).If you have more questions about heaven and how to get there, please email me at leather1@gmail.comIn Christ,/s/Scott L. Adkins

Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down, Darkness be over me, my rest a stone. Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God to Thee. Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! There let the way appear, steps unto heav'n; All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee. Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee. Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! Instrumental Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I'll fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee. Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! There in my Father's home, safe and at rest, There in my Savior's love, perfectly blest; Age after age to be, Nearer my God to Thee. Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!
