Pointer Organist JoAnn Pointer 1420 N. Florida Ave. Tampa, FL The Spacious Firmament The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun, from day to day, Doth his Creator s power display; And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth: While all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. What though in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found: In reason s ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing as they shine: The hand that made us is divine! Joseph Addison

Winston Churchill YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN FLORIDA IN JULY WHEN.... The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper. WISDOM OF A NINETY YEAR OLD Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger. CUTE PUNS Why were the Indians here first? They had reservations. HEADLINE NEWS PROVERBS FOR LIVING The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head. Proverbs 20:29

3 Lord of Heaven, Earth and Sky O Lord of heaven and earth and sea, To Thee all praise and glory be; How shall we show our love to Thee, Who givest all? The golden sunshine, vernal air, Sweet flowers and fruits Thy love declare; Where harvests ripen, Thou art there, Who givest all. For peaceful homes and healthful days, For all the blessings earth displays, We owe Thee thankfulness and praise, Who givest all. Thou didst not spare Thine only Son, But gav st Him for a world undone, And freely with that Blessed One Thou givest all. Thou giv st the Spirit s blessed dower, Spirit of life, and love, and power, And dost His sevenfold graces shower Upon us all. For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven, For means of grace and hopes of heaven, Father, all praise to Thee be given, Who givest all. Christopher Wordsworth

6 09/16/12 Afterward Job 9:1-10 Psalm 106:21 (Job 9:1-10) (Job 9:10) Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number. (Eph 3:20) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (Lk 17:12-19) (Luke 17:18-19) There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. (Matt 12:43-45) (Mat 12:44) Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. (Matt 8:28-34) (Mat 8:34) And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts. (Matt 20:29-34) (Mat 20:34) So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him. (Jn 5:2-14) (John 5:14) Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. (Jn 5:2-14) (John 5:14) Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. (Matt 12:43-45) (Mat 12:45) Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. (Psa 106:21) They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
