PUMPED UP AND OVERFLOWING

 And then for several months, it seemed my heart was so full of praise no poetry I could compose could do it any justice. I borrowed a hymnal from the missionary family here and enjoyed it during my Garden Times. "Love Divine", "And Can It Be", "How Great Thou Art", "The Love of God", "A Child of the King", "Blessed Assurance", "More Love to Thee", "Draw Me Nearer", "I Need Thee Every Hour", "Wonderful Grace of Jesus", "Once for All", "Come Thou Fount"--I can't tell how many hours of "Gushing Joy Time" came from reading those words! One of my email friends is in the charismatic camp, but I kinda doubt she had me beat in emotional response during some of those times!
