Well, a whimsical set of comments--but not entirely accurate. John Campbell wrote the hymn, and Charles Purday wrote the beautiful tune (called Sandon). Campbell, who was married to Queen Victoria's daughter, was an interesting man. He served for a time as the Governor General of Canada (the queen's representative). You can find out more on my own blog. As to John Wayne ("the Duke" writing any psalms. No, however, he's the one who came up with the idea for the gospel song, "It Is No Secret What God Can Do."

]]> Comment on Abide & Imitate by Stephanie http://randywray.com/2011/08/08/abide-imitate/#comment-6027 Stephanie Mon, 08 Aug 2011 15:54:15 +0000 http://randywray.com/?p=2160#comment-6027 Got up thinking and praying about the "abide" and "imitate" challenge this morning. Thank you for encouraging us as we strive to truly be Jesus' followers. BTW, there is a book I noticed at B & N recently that was called "Not a Fan." It is interesting because it seems to go along well with your lesson series as the focus is on not just being a fan of Jesus but being his follower.

But that's just me. I would have just told the taco maker, “I’d like a taco, please,” rather than all that foreign talk. But that’s just me.

I can't imagine living that far up the side of a mountain and no transportation other than one's feet. But there are a lot of things about that part of the world that I don't understand, not the least of which is the language! :) Out of curiosity, does this family have to make that walk just to get life’s necessities?

And you are right in your email to me ... it is a good year for me not to be there, unless I could be the base camp manager. Before you commit to the next mission trip, get a site survey!!
