Mother of Gooses

           Introduction Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog. Today, our subject is boogers. Boogers are very important, as they...           Snowy scene from a car window Yes, I'm trying to be funny. Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn by Robert Lowry, Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus; it was published in 1876, and it is about how only Jesus can take away our sins. It doesn't matter how generous we are, how charitable, how friendly, (don't get me wrong, these things are good) it doesn't matter how good we are, these things won't save us from our wicked ways; only the the blood of Jesus can do that. If you don't know how the hymn goes, look up Carrie Underwood on YouTube. Now, on with the show!              Mountain view          The Lyrics Verse 1 What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus; What can make me...

Hello,  hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where today, I have sneaky plan. You see, I really want the government to distribute more strawberry flavored chocolate chips, and I think that we should all sign a big petition, don't you agree? If there is a particular subject that you want me to cover, ask me in the comments, and I will do my best to answer. I update on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and, special treat, Random Chatty Days. Goodbye, and God bless.         -Mother of Gooses   Thank you for letting the Mother of Gooses blog be your source of information  Wow, I'm going to have write that twice; well, at least we threw off any spies. You see, I really want all of the big singers, like Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, Lauren Alaina, Gabby Barrett, Kelsea Ballerini, anybody you could name, to sing hymns. And they want to satisfy the public, right? So if we are politely demanding for them to sing hymns in their comments o...

Hello, hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where today, the topic is the solar eclipse. The solar eclipse is when the moon comes in front of the sun, therefore casting a a shadow over the earth in the middle of the day. Nowadays, it is considered cool, but in the old times, nobody expected the eclipse, and they were terrified. The people of China thought that a celestial dog was eating the sun, so they would go outside and bang things together to scare the creature away. Other countries thought that jaguars or wolves we're eating the sun, so they would shoot arrows into the sky. The only people who weren't startled by the eclipse were the people who spent their lives studying the skies; so when they saw that an eclipse was going to happen, they would go to the king of the land and make a demand, threatening that if they don't do what the person said, they would make the sun go dark. Of course, the kings didn't believe them; but, wonders of wonders, the sun ...

Hello, hello, my friends, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I ramble about whatever I want to ramble about at that particular time. Today, I want to ramble about the hymn written by Johann Heermann in 1630, Ah Holy Jesus.  It is about how our sins were the reason Jesus was beaten, mocked and crucified. Our sins were the reason Jesus died; He wants us to live in Heaven with Him when we die. All we have to do is believe. I don't have anything else to add, except that if you don't know how the hymn goes, look up Folksandhymns on YouTube; she has a very pretty voice, and she plays the guitar.  Now, on with the show! Verse 1  Ah, Holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended? That we to judge Thee have in hate pretended? By foes derided, by Thine own rejected, Oh most afflicted! Verse 2  Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon Thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee! 'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied Thee;  I crucified Thee. Verse 3  Lo, the Good...

Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where today I am PEEVED. It has snowed recently in our neighborhood, and, of course, the snow-plows are out, and getting snow out of the road; noble, right? It is quite noble, UNLESS they are intentionally running over your mailbox!  You see, we have gone through three mailboxes in the three years we have lived on Earth, and all because of the plows. Of course, you may be thinking that it is only an accident; I don't think so. The mailbox isn't too close to the road. How do I know? Because the mail-man would have said something, that's how I know. Another thing: we have chickens, and we sell eggs. We have a couple signs out by the side of the road, so that people know that there is eggs.  The plow driver KNOCKED OUR SIGN DOWN!  It was a good six feet from the road! It wasn't a accident; he was intentionally trying to knock down our sign down.  One last thing: an elderly neighbor of ours was using a snow blower to get t...

 Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I ramble and chatter, comment and... Write. Today, we are looking at the lyrics to Charles Wesley's hymn, Christ The Lord Is Risen Today. He wrote it in 1739, and it is one of the most common Easter hymns in the world.  If you don't know how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Kaleb Brasee; he plays it on the piano, and does a very nice job. Enjoy! Verse 1 "Christ the Lord is risen today," Alleluia! Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia! Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia! Sing ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia! Verse 2 Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia! Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia! Lo! Our sun's eclipse is o'er, Alleluia!  Lo! He sets in blood no more, Alleluia! Verse 3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Alleluia!  Christ has burst the gates of Hell, Alleluia!  Death in vain forbids His rise, Alleluia! Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia! Verse 4 Lives again o...
