Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

This Ole House

Some people here will probably recall the song "This Ole House", which was a smash hit for Rosemary Clooney in 1954, and has since been recorded by dozens of other artists.

The story behind the song is quite interesting, and I thought everyone here would enjoy hearing it. The songwriter, Stuart Hamblen, was apparently quite popular as a "singing cowboy" at one time, and later became a Christian singer and songwriter.

I stumbled across this video on YouTube today with him explaining how he came up with the song, and actually prefer his version of this song to Rosemary's. I believe I've actually heard his version before, but I have no clue where.

Enjoy!

I've sinned greatly, but Christ's for real, baby, it's a wonder He saved me and just didn't hate me, so won't you tell Him 'Save me!' and please stand up?... - J. Jackson (http://www.apologetix.com for more info).

Thanks, Michael.  Of course I date myself by saying I remember it well.   :D
