The Hymn of the week, on this 66th day of 2016, has more to do with tomorrow and this coming week, than with today. 3/6/16 was a pretty good day. From Church to Errands to Family Dinner and Movie night, the flow was good and the company even better. But Church this morning had me thinking about two things: 1) when bad things happen to good people and 2) when you need God (or Jesus) to be with you, keeping you strong. And that made me think of this hymn. It's always been one of my favorites and, actually, it's one of the hymns I'd like at my Memorial Service (yes, I morbidly think about that from time to time, even though I hope it's 40-50 years away). Although it is often thought of as a funeral hymn, tonight I'd like to focus more on the line, "And He Walks with Me, and He Talks with Me." Tomorrow and in the coming week, I will need people to walk with me and talk with me and I am pretty confident I will be able to close my eyes, take a deep breath, feel the presence with me, and persevere. Hope others can as well.
