Whenever This Will Happen.....It Is Today One Day Closer!


             "Benjamin Franklin remarked in his autobiography how it was "wonderful to see the Change soon made in the Manners of our inhabitants"....and....'it seem'd as if all the World were growing Religious;  so that one could not walk thro' the Town in an Evening without Hearing Psalms sung in different Families of every street.' These words were in response to the effect on the people by the mostly open-air preaching of George Whitefield in what has come to be known as the First Great Awakening. (1730s-40s) This is what happens when God....of his own volition and purposes....moves mightily over an entire people. Nothing can stop it. If one is not part of it they can only sit and watch."
             The above paragraph is from a much older post. The video above that is labeled on the Internet as....Christmas Food Court Flash Mob In Philadelphia Sings The Hallelujah Chorus.
             Our seven year old grandson and I devised a plan to surprise his dad. He would be in the dining room....just working on a LEGO or something....and would suddenly sing out.....King of Kings....And Lord of Lords....and then I in the living room would join in....Hallelujah! Hallelujah!....and we would go on like this for a few of those famous lyrics. It was meant to surprise his dad as would a flash mob. It worked well in practice....but not so well later. Oh well we tried....and his dad was blessed.
              There will be a Hallelujah flash mob some day friends! Maybe we will sing the King of Kings....and the myriad of God's holy angels will sing.....Hallelujah....or vice versa....but whatever it is it will be glorious....and whenever it will take place....it is today one day closer!
