When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,It is well, with my soul,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

Let this blest assurance control,

That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,

And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!

My sin, not in part but the whole,

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:

If Jordan above me shall roll,

No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life

Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

But, Lord, ‘tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,

The sky, not the grave, is our goal;

Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord!

Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of my soul!

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;

The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,Even so, it is well with my soul.

Q & A

Why are some songs only playing for 30-seconds?

"When you find a song on imeem that is a 30-second preview, it means that the artist or record label that has registered the song in our database has not approved full-length streaming for our users. Consistent with copyright fair use principles, the song will be streamed to you as a 30-second preview.

If you already have the song on your computer, upload it to your imeem profile and listen to it full-length. You can always listen to entire songs that you’ve uploaded to imeem; they will not be converted to 30-second previews. If you do not have the song on your computer, you can buy it on iTunes or Amazon.com

Just so you know, there are already millions of songs on imeem that we have permission to stream at full-length. We are constantly working with labels and artists around the world to add more, and we are adding thousands of songs each day. Stay tuned! "

So now I know. You see when I'm on my imeem they still play full length. I don't know until I've posted it that it will only be 30 seconds long. Now that I do know that I would be expecting lots of new music to be cycling through this blog.

Plan B

I had a plan. My plan was to introduce people to the music I listen to . My plan was to change the song on my blog site every so often that way people could listen to my kind of music. Let us just suppose I had someone very in particular that I wanted to play some of my music to. Let's just call him "Eric". Suppose "Eric" doesn't listen to much Contemporary Christian music and past attempts to introduce him to such music have failed. My plan was to play different ones on the blog and the end result would be that "Eric" would have been exposed to spiritually fulfilling music, that is if he keeps visiting my blog.

So... I am trying to figure out why my imeem only lets me play 30-second pieces of songs instead of the full length version. That wasn't the case in the beginning and now the only song I can play all of is Chris Rice's "Go Light Your World." The only reason is that one was saved prior to the "change." I don't know much about HTML but I'm guessing there is a slight change in the HTML that only permits me to be able to listen to as 30 second bit of the song. Sigh... I have spent lots of time on trying to remedy this and so I am now officially on a break.

In the meantime, please enjoy The Mean Kitty Song.

I bet if "Eric" had kids they would love this video. That is if "Eric" gets around to pushing the play button. P.S. I would hope that "Eric" knew that I was just picking on him becasue I love him. Well, I mean if there were an "Eric".

Thanks for the love

We are enjoying them, thank you Little Miss Bear Room B. You girls rock. I have had a lot of fum imagining you girls scheming, shopping, acting like teenage girls giggling and smiling. I've also been having fun trying to figure out who got what. You girls are really great to me. Thank you. God is so kind to me through you ladies. God is so good. I hope your Christmas was just as good.
