Doing Justice

What are some of your favorite hymns? I read a story in my book on Miracles about Larry Crabb needing to pray. He wound up singing hymns. Great Is Thy Faithfulness. It Is Well With My Soul. I Love You Lord. Day By Day, from Godspell. Reid added God of Grace and God of Glory” and “Come Thou Font of Every Blessing.”

Micah 6:8 was made into a song: “He has shown me, oh man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you – but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”

Finished my Eric Metaxas Miracles book, and started John Grisham’s A Time For Mercy. I’m getting like you, reading multiple books at the same time. Also finished Lewis Grizzard’s If I Ever Get Back to Georgia I’m Gonna Nail My Feet to the Ground, and started Judd Apatow’s “Sick in the Head: Conversations About Life and Comedy.”
