I also LOVE the "I Surrender" from Littrell. ONe of my favorite songs from my childhood, too! It was a standard in our Nazarene Hymnal.

Thanks for stopping by yesterday for a visit, and yes, I did post photos of our little yard project this morning.
Enjoy the TX sunshine. Seems [at least around my area] that's all we're getting. Yesterday, record heat. We need rain. LOL
Amen, sister, you are preachin' to the choir! I can't give thanks enough for our veterans!
Excellent post! I wish there were more people out there who appreciated and understood this.
