My piano music on Soundcloud

I finally started recording and  uploading some of my piano music. I have been wanting to do it for a few years now, but I didn't have a good way to record the music. I used my sister's Canon Rebel camera. This is a medley that I arranged of several worship songs. https://soundcloud.com/piano-pro-785932545/piano_medley_original This is an Arabic christian song I heard last summer. I bought a Lebanese CD and it was on there. I started playing the melody "by ear" on piano a few months later. https://soundcloud.com/piano-pro-785932545/arabic-christian-song-10

The Lord God is my strength

The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's feet, and He will make me walk in my high hills. Habakkuk 3:19 God came from Teman, The Holy One from Mount Paran.                                             Selah (pause) Habakkuk 3:3 "Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, who may go out before them, and go in before them, who may lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be like sheep which have no shepherd." Numbers 27:16-17 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray

Cecil the Lion vs. Anonymous Human Babies

lion image:  http://www.freestockphotos.biz/stockphoto/17735 Great argument against abortion by Mr. Chandler:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=absW29h8KGA I noticed that in a recent TIME magazine, they devoted 6 pages with color photos to talk about Cecil the Lion, and lions in general who are raised to be hunted in South Africa.  A few pages later, I saw half a page of text. It was about the videos leaked of Planned Parenthood selling baby parts to middlemen. Half a page of text. No color photographs. Not even a full page. At the end of the article, the reporter compared using baby's body parts to using human organs from (adults) people in car accidents or shootings. No one wants someone to get shot or be in an accident, but it can help other people. The only problem with that argument is this: the adults can choose to be an organ donor, but an unborn baby has no choice!  When did lions become more important than human babies ?  For You formed my inw

Thoughts on the book of Daniel

I read through the book of Daniel July 6-July 9. I wrote down some aspects that stood out to me and am sharing them here. I hope something I gleaned can be of encouragement to you. The Word of God is precious and living. The Lord is showing me that practically more and more.  ~Elizabeth  Daniel Chapters 1-3 Opens with a mention of the King of Babylon,  Nebuchadnezzar. Babylon was located in modern day Iraq.   " Babylon was situated on the Euphrates River, about 50 miles south of modern Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. Baghdad is located on the Tigris River, approximately 40 miles east of the Euphrates. The Tower of Babel was built there and Hammurabi, the great lawgiver, reigned there in the nineteenth century before Christ. It was from Ur in Babylonia that God called Abraham to go into a land that he would show him. In the Neo-Babylonia era, Nebuchadnezzar was the ruler (605-562 B.C.) in the height of its glory. It was during his time that Jerusalem and the templ

"Time" song by The Voetberg Family Band

Time is ticking..... A lovely song that reminds me of the urgency to share the gospel with this generation, and not waste time. You can hear the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCE7jFMfMGo "Time"  Song Lyrics: (written by The Voetberg Family Band)  Time is always running round the clock never stops to check, never looking back Days and hours turn to history won't it wait for me give me time to see You sit around and sift through memories watch them follow you, they try to swallow you Now you're running and you're out of breath you better stay right there, you better double check Chorus: If you could have all the time in the world Is it enough to change all the changes- put smiles on their faces Could countless hours draw a line in the sand that you'd never have crossed but the tides of these waters won't last. Enlightened thoughts swing you high on a cloud think you've got it down, proficient as a clown If every seconds so

Making Sausage Biscuits

I wanted to make my own sausage biscuits as a cheaper alternative to store bought ones. They are not the healthiest meal, but you can always use turkey sausage instead of pork and use half whole wheat flour and half white flour if you want.    Homemade Biscuits  Prep Time 30 MIN Total Time 45 MIN Servings 10 Ingredients: 2 cups  all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar, if desired 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup shortening (butter) 3/4 cup milk Directions:  1   Heat the oven to 450°F. In a medium bowl, stir the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until mixed. Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or fork, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in the milk until mixture forms a soft dough and leaves the side of the bowl (dough will be soft and sticky).  2   Lightly sprinkle flour over a cutting board or countertop. Place dough on floured surface; gently roll in the flour to coat. To knead dough, fold dough toward yo

Praying for Muslims during Ramadan 2015

                        Image courtesy of:  http://ademmm.deviantart.com/art/islamic-background-63901705 For those of you praying for Muslims during Ramadan, Laylat al-Qadr (observed a week from now) is an important night in their religion. They believe that the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed to Muhammed on this night. They have special prayers and stay at the mosque all night, to try and obtain forgiveness and blessing.  How wonderful that we know the Lord who has forgiven us and given us blessings abundantly! He also gives us assurance of knowing we are saved before  we die.  Please pray that many Muslims find the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior on this night. Continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Muslim countries too.  Blue Mosque, Istanbul, Turkey.                               Image courtesy of: franky242  at  FreeDigitalPhotos.net "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and
