Nations that Long in Darkness WalkedNations that long in darkness walked
Have now beheld a glorious light;
On them who dwelt in shades of death
The light hath shined heav’nly bright.For lo! the virgin’s Child is born;
To us the Son of God is giv’n.
Upon His shoulders shall be laid
The government of earth and Heav’n.His Name is called Wonderful,
The Counselor, the mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace,
Peace dearly purchased with His blood.His government shall know no bounds,
But far and wide o’er all extend;
And happy peace, the glorious fruits
Of His just reign, shall know no end.O’er David’s kingdom, on His throne
To rule, and ’stablish it secure
With judgment clear, and justice right;
His reign forever shall endure.

A man should own as many shirts as he wishes—the more the better. I personally have so many shirts that I sometimes walk into my closet, pull one out, and think to myself, “Now where did that come from?” Having lots of shirts will allow you to surprise yourself with your own good taste.Luciano Barbera
My drawing teacher is named Michael Stillion. He doesn’t like it when you try to photograph him (or hug him, for that matter), but he is a pretty awesome dude regardless. He does drawings like this for nearly every class.
All was lost in Adam’s fall;Welcome God’s and Mary’s Son (This hymn is so good and I’d never heard it until just last year!)
All in Thee is now recovered.
Once to sin and death a thrall,
O’er the pit of hell I hovered:
Now I learn to cling to Thee—
Once with Adam, one with me.
