When a Reader Reviews Three Books in a Row, An Angel Is Promoted to Seraph, Three Sets of Wings

"Isaiah, Mighty Seer, in Days of Old"
by Martin Luther, 1483-1546
1. Isaiah, mighty seer, in days of old
The Lord of all in Spirit did behold
High on a lofty throne, in splendor bright,
With flowing train that filled the Temple quite.
Above the throne were stately seraphim,
Six wings had they, these messengers of Him.
With twain they veiled their faces, as was meet,
With twain in reverent awe they hid their feet,
And with the other twain aloft they soared,
One to the other called and praised the Lord:
"Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth!
Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth!
Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth!
Behold, His glory filleth all the earth!"
The beams and lintels trembled at the cry,
And clouds of smoke enwrapped the throne on high.

5.0 out of 5 starsLiberalism and How to Deal with it.

ByAmazon Customeron February 17, 2017

Format: Paperback

I am reading this book for the second time. I read it slowly the first time, as there is a lot to digest. The history of liberalism in the church goes way back. What started as something seemingly innocuous has grown little by little until many mainline churches are but a shadow of what they once were regarding their beliefs. Today's misguided, chaotic and immoral world is the result of this. The cure is a return to God, to the Word of God and the Sacraments. Although this is a very serious book, it is still enjoyable and fascinating to read. I recommend it highly.

 Jesus Priceless Treasure

.0 out of 5 starsA Must for Every Household

ByAmazon Customeron February 17, 2017

Format: Paperback

This small book teaches all the definitive doctrines of the Christian faith with the emphasis on Jesus Christ. There are many Scripture verses to substantiate the doctrine. At the end of every chapter is a hymn. Norma Boeckler's beautiful cover and her black and white illustrations add much to the book. It is easy to read and small enough to be taken anywhere. It is a must for every household for teaching the young and bringing the elderly to remembrance of things once learned..

In contrast to most hymnals that are arranged by the church year, this one is arranged chronologically, starting off with ancient Greek hymns, such as Clement of Alexandria's "Shepherd of Tender Youth." Here one will meet old favorites and old hymns that are new to the reader. Each hymn also has a beautiful color illustration by Norma Boeckler. It makes a wonderful gift to oneself or someone else.

Recipe for the Jackson EZ Bird Swing: Six-Foot Wide Model

 Queen's Lace Crepe Myrtle is growing near the new bird feeder and swing.

The kitchen window needed some cleaning, so I took out the screen and vacuum cleaner and started. Using a special cleaner I had the glass almost invisible, so I decided install a second Jackon EZ Bird Swing. The recipe is easy for most homes.

1. Drill three holes. These make screw hooks very easy to install. Our house has three eave supports for the window. The central one is for the hanging bird feeder - closer to the window for more shelter from rain. The supports on each side are for hanging the chains.
2. Insert the screw-hooks into the three holes. 
3. At Lowe's I ordered two 30 inch chains from the incredulous clerk. "They are for the bird swing," I added, helpfully.
4. I also bought their $7 hanging bird feeder.
5. The last item, near the chains, was a six foot long rod. Naturally, the rod needs to rest inside the chain links - and it did. Tested - at the store.

The rest was easy. After putting the screw-hooks in place, I hung the chain on each side, the sunflower seed feeder in the middle.

The rod went across and rested between the chains. The extra length made the set-up stable without any electrician's tape.

Expecting no activity for a time, I checked out the arrangement from inside the house. A small bird was already on the swing.

Later a Crepe Myrtle (already planted) will grow up and serve as the reception room for the feeder. Birds love to rest nearby until they can take their turns. The swing makes it easier to see the birds at rest.

I started a discounted a White Profusion Butterfly Bush but it is so small that I figured it might be a few years to get some height out of that project. I can transplant the Butterfly Bush to a new location.
