I just found out about Art*Music*Justice while surfing this Piper Family blog.
Now I’m bummed because I found their Facebook entry and it says they were right here in Cornelius 2 weeks ago. I was happier not knowing what I was missing.
Oh well. Maybe next time.
Here is Sara Groves

It’s that time again. I went back and looked at last month’s entry and I am happy to report that I actually got some books read. I finished 4 Elizabeth Goudge books, The Grand Weaver, and At Home in Mitford. I am reviewing Battling Unbelief and preparing for the beach retreat in one week!
So, what have I added to my stack to read this month?
Antsy Does Time and Everlost by Neal Shusterman. I picked those up after reading Orson Scott Card’s review this week.
I have requested two books by David Servan-Schreiber, Anticancer and The instinct to heal. A friend at work has breast cancer and has been reading Anticancer.
Now that Anthony is through reading it, I am going to add Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands by Paul David Tripp.
I’ve done most of this over the weekend while Connor was at home with his dad. But I need to find a way to explain that on the one side, people send cards and flowers to express love and provide comfort and sympathy, and that is why we have received these:
And for each one of those, plus the visits, the flowers, and memorials… we send these:
And the time spent doing this is not drudgery spent over a chore, but a time to cherish the love of others and the memories of a loved one.
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?
In every condition, in sickness, in health;
In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth;
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,
As thy days may demand, shall thy strength ever be.
Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
Even down to old age all My people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.
The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.
