RAMBLING

I was listening tonight song on the radio...hosted by Bill Peirce I have been hearing this program now  for nearly 50 years... from the hampton street days on TRANSWORLD RADIO. It seemed strange to me that I was hearing the "pop" (secular) song on this religious program Anne Murray was singing you needed me.... I was just about to go see if the dial had shifted when I heard the deep voice of the announcer "this is night sound" NIGHTSOUND WEBSITE "You Needed Me" is a song written by Randy Goodrum, who describes it as being about "unconditional undeserved love."[1] It was a number one single in the United States in 1978 for Canadian singer Anne Murray. The song, included on her 1978 album Let's Keep It That Way, was also a top-five country single and won Song of the Year at the Academy of Country Music awards. The Anne Murray version was number one in Malaysia for ten weeks. WIKI You gave me strength to stand alone again To face the world out on my own again You put me high upon a pedestal So high that I could almost see eternity You needed me, you needed me WIKI "I Will Survive" is a song first performed by Gloria Gaynor, released in October 1978. It was written by Freddie Perren and Dino Fekaris. The song was rated number nine on George Carlin's 10 Most Embarrassing Songs of All Time. [Napalm & Silly Putty (New York: Comedy Concepts, Inc., 2001), 187.] First I was afraid I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong I grew strong I learned how to carry on and so you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed my stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me Go on now go walk out the door just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore I got off wondering about these songs... no..the second one was not played on nightsound.. and I didn't catch what the program was about. I used to work in an orpanage as a houseparent that was where I first heard the survive song.. some kids were really belting it out... I never forgot it.... I was thinking on thanksgiving listening to someone on the radio read first Corinthians chapter thirteen it dawned on me that I am seeing that love in my home everyday... maybe not all the time but...yes it is definately there... ...and I am thankful to God and to my family for the love. 1 Corinthians 13 4 Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn't jealous. It doesn't sing its own praises. It isn't arrogant. 5 It isn't rude. It doesn't think about itself. It isn't irritable. It doesn't keep track of wrongs. 6 It isn't happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth. 7 Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up. 8 Love never comes to an end. There is the gift of speaking what God has revealed, but it will no longer be used. There is the gift of speaking in other languages, but it will stop by itself. There is the gift of knowledge, but it will no longer be used. 9 Our knowledge is incomplete and our ability to speak what God has revealed is incomplete. 10 But when what is complete comes, then what is incomplete will no longer be used.
