St Lucia Praise the Lord, O my soul For You, My God, are great. You are clothed with splendor. Majesty You create. He wraps Himself in light, As with a garment worn. He stretches out heaven Like a tent. It is born. He lays the chambers’ beams On their waters just right. He makes His…

A Good Name
A good name is to be chosen, Rather than great wealth, And loving respect, Rather than good health. Rich and poor have this in common— The Lord made them all. They need each other, Whatever may befall. A wise man foresees danger And finds a safe place, But the foolish keep on And suffer disgrace….
