This is one of the white crane which I took a picture of. There were so many white cranes on the field, the usual place where we always cycled… the slope we cycled and the place we meet Puma, the place I [...]
WordPress theme directory is back online, allowing theme uploads again. That’s great news and I hope for a versioning system and automatic theme updates - just like the plugins.
I have updated Amazing Grace theme with new WordPress 2.6 tweaks (mostly image alignment)…
Racial prejudice is a theme in MRS. LIEUTENANT, which takes place in 1970 only six years after the Civil Rights Act became law in the U.S. and only 20 years after the U.S. Army was integrated in the Korean War in 1950. Racial prejudice is also the theme of the 2006 movie AMAZING GRACE, which my husband and I just watched on Netflix. Although I knew that the song “Amazing Grace” was writte
I have just released an update to Amazing Grace WordPress theme, which is now at version 2.0.
The update features many updates that were accumulated on my blog during the past time, both visual and functional.
The theme also now supports Gravatars ,…
I recently came up several sites that use Amazing Grace WordPress theme and I was happy to see them. Out of curiosity I have then searched on Google to find out about other blogs using the theme.
And I’ve came across blogs…
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.... I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see. T'was Grace that taught... my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear... the hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares... we have already come. T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
Hardly a June goes by that I don't reflect on what might have been/could have been in June, 1981. With a heart bursting with gratitude for God's grace and mercy, I offer the tribute below to a child that would have been 27 years old this month. It is my prayer that this poem will offer a balm of healing to others who struggle to reconcile this sin in their past...or perhaps, even introduce them to
My people, mi gente ...you enjoy your weekend please take the time to remember our fallen and falling soldiers, ones past and gone and those giving up their lives at this very moment, although I am not a supporter of this war or our current President , I do support our troops as I know they are over there because they believe in our great country and they are OUR armed forces and they are all our

One of my favorite blues hymns to play on my harmonica is Amazing Grace. I really like this version by Terry McMillan. May God rest his soul. I could only hope to one day be able to play it this good.I think this version fits for a day like to day, and I hope you enjoy it."Amazing Grace" Played On Harmonica By Terry McMillan

If you haven’t seen the movie Amazing Grace, I’d highly recommend it. It’s a touching story of a man who makes it is mission in life to stop slavery and how the song came to be. Amazing Grace has always been my favorite song, every since I can remember. [...]
Our pastor referenced an article during Sunday's sermon that made me want to read more. So, I googled the author's name and read it in its entirety. You can read the full article here. You can download his sermon here.
Here are some excerpts that he used that made me interested. But really, read the whole article. You'll be glad you did.

Amazing Grace is a hymn with at least seven verses (or more?) One verse that is now common in our hymnals, was first found in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s book Uncle Tom’s Cabin:
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun.

God's promptings are all over the place. The Holy Spirit is whispering ... leading... teaching... There is a lesson God wants me to learn ... to know deeply ... to experience fully ... it's called "grace".Grace? Isn't that something that I am good at? I mean, isn't that a quality I already have? At least that's what I hear from friends and co-workers. They say I have a high tolerance and patience - even to the most annoying people. I also am very accepting, not judgmental, and always forgiving. Isn't that what grace is all about?But the more I learn about grace, the more I know I don't know much about it, and I am far from being "good at it". It's something simple yet profound. Therefore we are exhorted on II Peter 3:15 "But Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ".Here are some of the incidents which I called promptings:* Art and James talked about Grace in their blog. When they discussed Philip Yancey's book "What's So Amazing About Grace. I enjoyed
Amazing Grace - Sun Bursting through clouds and treesSun bursting through cloudsRecently I watched the movie “Amazing Grace”, an excellent movie about the abolishment of the slave trade in 18th century England. It follows the political work of William Wilberforce, a politician in the House of Commons. This photo reminds me of the theme of the movie – though all evils and tribulations of this world, God and goodness will triumph. The bright Sun, shrouded by cloud, seems to be bursting forth from its corner of the sky, spreading the Light to all corners of the globe.This photo gains its impressive and triumphant effect mainly because of the parabolic nature of the image – the picture seems to have been taken with a “fish eye” lens, creating an effect of bulging in the centre. Surprisingly, I took this photo with a simple point-and-shoot Kodak C330 digital camera, and didn’t use a fish eye lens at all!The trees in this photo create a natural frame for the picture.

sung to the tune of the commonly known hymn
no offense intended to those who follow the Christian faith
Amazing grace, how sweet the Earth
that bore a witch like me!
I once was burned, now I survive,
was hung and now I sing.
T’was grace that drew down the moon
and grace that raised the seas.
The magic in the people’s will
will set our Mother free.
We face the East and breathe the winds
that move across this earth.
From gentle breeze to hurricane
our breath will bring forth the change.
Turn towards the South and feel the fire
that burns in you and me.
The spirit’s flame will rise again
and burn eternally.
We greet the West, our souls awash
in tides of primal birth.
Our tears and blood, our pain and love
will cleanse and heal the earth.
Reach into the North and know your roots
down deep ancestral caves.
We find the wisdom of the Crone,
Of circles we are made.
Amazing earth, enduring life,
from death into rebirth.
T’is earth I am and earth I love
and earth I
Amazing Grace (2006)
From acclaimed director Michael Apted (”The World is Not Enough,” “Coal Miner’s Daughter”) comes “Amazing Grace,” a moving historical epic about the life of antislavery pioneer William Wilberforce. “Amazing Grace” follows Wilberforce’s career through his 20’s and 30’s, as he and his fellow humanitarians make the issue of slavery a talking point, not only in political circles, but also throughout the country.
Based on the true life story of William Wilberforce (Ioan Gruffudd), a leader of the British abolition movement, the film chronicles his epic struggle to pass a law to end the slave trade in the late 18th century. Along the way, Wilberforce meets intense opposition from members of Parliament who feel the slave trade is tied to the stability of the British Empire. Several friends, including Wilberforce’s minister, John Newton (Albert Finney), a reformed slave ship captain who penned

ON THE SHORES of Lough Swilly, Buncrana of County Donegal it started. Caught in a violent storm life changed for a wretch and slave trader. JOHN NEWTON came face to face with himself and his need for God´s forgiveness and grace. Ireland´s link with this amazing story is Lough Swilly from 1748 and this changed the sailor of 23. This started John Newton´s spiritual journey 1748. And later c. 1772 he wrote the song text Amazing Grace.

When I was eight years old I decided that I wanted to have two kids, like my aunt, and I envisioned myself as a wonderfully warm and loving mother. Back then I had the disposition of a lamb and saw myself as a "June Cleaver"-like mother wearing Nikes instead of white pumps.
Fast forward 14 years to the day when I first held my newborn daughter and I panicked because I wasn't sure what kind of
WILLIAM WILBERFORCE är huvudperson i filmen Amazing Grace. Utifrån sin kristna övertygelse arbetade han under årtionden för att slaveriet skulle avskaffas. År 2007 är det 200 år sedan slavhandeln förbjöds. Över hela USA och Storbritannien firas Amazing Grace Sunday den 18/2 resp. 25/3. John Newton’s sång ‘Amazing Grace’ är filmens namn. REFLEKTION Projektet The Amazing Grace One Day, One Song, One Voice påminner om att slaveriet finns kvar. Mer än 27 miljoner slavar finns det i världen idag. Då räknar man folk i tvångsarbete, kvinnor och flickor i trafficing, barn som kidnappats och brutalt används som soldater. Må vi be Herrens gode Ande om kärlekens fantasi att agera mot allt globalt slaveri. -- YTTERLIGARE INFO: Amazing Grace -- Video -- Resources --- Wilberforce2007Technorati Tag: Amazing Grace - Andra bloggar om: Amazing Grace
