Speaking4Him Podcast: #481: 10 of My Favorite Christmas Songs of All Time (Part 2)

 "Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining,

It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth;

Long lay the world in sin and error pining,

‘Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn;

Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!

O night divine! O night when Christ was born.

O night, O holy night, O night divine." 

Oh Holy Night

Speaking4Him Podcast: #480: 10 of My Favorite Christmas Songs of All Time (Part 1)

 "Silent night, holy night!

All is calm, all is bright.

Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.

Holy infant so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace,

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight.

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,

Christ the Savior is born!

Christ the Savior is born."

--Silent Night

Speaking4Him Podcast: #479: The Walton’s Homecoming (2021)

 “My opinion is that ‘The Waltons’ is a 50-year-old classic. Classics are eventually adapted, updated, remade and reexamined. I'm just happy that our show is in that category, and I hope the new version finds its audience as ours did in 1971. Good luck to them." Richard Thomas

Speaking4Him Podcast: #478: The Most Reluctant Convert

  “You must picture me alone in that room in Magdalen, night after night, feeling, whenever my mind lifted even for a second from my work, the steady, unrelenting approach of Him whom I so earnestly desired not to meet. That which I greatly feared had at last come upon me. In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God, and knelt and prayed: perhaps, that night, the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England.” C.S. Lewis

Today I share my review of the C.S. Lewis biopic The Most Reluctant Convert. Listen Here to his journey and be thankful for the grace of God!!!
