We're back in business. Smile. Here's what we're doing this week, starting today.

Praise God from whom all bless-ings flow;
Praise Him all crea-tures here be-low;
Praise Him a-bove ye heav’n-ly host;
Praise Fa-ther, Son and Ho-ly Ghost.

Oh, I love the Doxology. I did not grow up in a church that sang it. The very first time I heard it was when listening to The Secret Garden on tape with my girls when they were little. :)
