If ye love me
Keep my commandments
And I will pray the father
(And I will pray the father)
And he shall give you another comforter
That he
(That he)
That he
May bide with you forever
E'en the spirit of
(E'en the spirit of)
E'en the spirit of truth
E'en the spirit of truth
E'en the spirit of truth
That he
(That he)
That he
May bide with you forever
E'en the spirit of
(E'en the spirit of)
E'en the spirit of truth
E'en the spirit of truth

The Window

This is the Means of Grace Window that is above the altar of Grace Lutheran Church where I serve. It reminds us of the keys (confession and absolution), the wheat(the bread which is the Body of Christ), the cup (which is His Blood), the Word (Scripture), and the Pastoral Office (the red stole). In this one wonderful window we see the treasures of the Church in the Word and Sacraments and I love that it is available for all to see. I realize that this image has been stolen all over the internet but it is a real window, a copyrighted image, belonging to Grace Lutheran Church, Clarksville, Tennessee, which has kindly allowed my use of it...
