His Way With Thee

I know this isn't a "photography" post, but I felt led to share anyway. I discovered this beautiful hymn in an old Methodist hymnal tonight.

"His Way With Thee"

"Would you live for Jesus, and be always pure and good?
Would you walk with Him within the narrow road?
Would you have Him bear your burden, carry all your load?
Let Him have His way with thee.


His pow'r can make you what you ought to be;
His blood can cleanse your heart and make you free;
His love can fill your soul, and you will see
'Twas best for Him to have His way thee.


Would you have Him make you free, and follow at His call?
Would you know the peace that comes by giving all?
Would you have Him save you, so that you need never fall?
Let Him have His way with thee.


Would you in His kingdom find a place of constant rest?
Would you prove Him true in providential test?
Would you in His service labor always at your best?
Let Him have His way with thee.


His pow'r can make you what you ought to be;
His blood can cleanse your heart and make you free;
His love can fill your soul, and you will see
'Twas best for Him to have His way with thee. Amen."

Off to the Races! (Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas)

Haven't blogged in a while thanks to a nice case of the flu. A week or so ago I did make it to Oaklawn, the Thoroughbred Race Track in Hot Springs, Arkansas with my friend K. Loving horses and watching the Triple Crown Races on tv for as long as I can remember, I had actually never seen a horse race in person. Needless to say, I had a grand time although we froze our backsides off! Here are a few images from the day.

Now these guys...It's a good thing they aren't racing!

Racing to the line. Doesn't get much better than this!
