Hymns

I find myself thinking about songs from my youth. I loved hymns and learned to read music at a young age from studying the hymnal.  It's kind of a funny thing. The hymnal and the King James Bible were the only books I owned for most of my childhood. Those songs and great words were my comfort in turbulent times and they are once again. There are shelves full of books and recorded music but I pull out the hymns and a Bible.

Someone played guitar and sang while I was visiting the other day. It was delightful. I would like that every day.  It brings me into God's presence and calms me. Wish I could play guitar.
