Abdu'l-Baha1

"O my God! O my God! Unite the hearts of Thy servants, and reveal to them Thy great purpose. May they follow Thy commandments and abide in Thy law. Help them, O God, in their endeavor, and grant them strength to serve Thee. O God! Leave them not to themselves, but guide their steps by the light of Thy knowledge, and cheer their hearts by Thy love. Verily, Thou art their Helper and their Lord."

Share a list of your top 5 favorite songs and tell us why they’re your fave.

My taste in music has expanded and my favorites have changed since I turned 60. I still enjoy the music I of my childhood and teenage years; however, today I prefer music that is much more spiritual and relaxing. If I hadn't been limited to five songs, I would have chosen, at least, nine. After meditating on my choices, I whited the list down to five.


My Top Five Favorite Songs:
In no particular order.

*Music1* How Great Thou Art performed by two different artist Hillsong and Chris Rice, as well as numerous others.
*Music2* Hummingbird by Seals and Croft.
*Music1* Blowing in the Wind originally performed by Peter, Paul, and Mary. Has been performed by various other artist.
*Music2* Have You Heard? Performed by Luke Slot.
*Music1* We Are One performed by Dan Seals and The Voices of Bahá.

Have You Heard?
Luke Slot

This is a recent addition to my list of favorites. I like this song because it emphasizes Divine Unity and mentions several of the Manifestations of God, including Christ, Muhammad, the Bab, and Baha'u'llah.

We Are One
Dan Seals and The Voices of Bahá

This is one of the songs that was originally recorded by Seals and Croft. I like the version performed by Dan Seals and The Voices of Bahá best because it has an entire orchestra playing the music. Another reason I like this song is that it emphasizes the oneness of humanity.

Hummingbird
Seals and Croft

I like this song when I first heard it performed by Seals and Croft, I can't remember how many years ago. From the first, I could feel the spiritual emphasize of the song. It was only later that I realized the song, in its essence, is about Baha'u'llah.

Blowing in the Wind
Peter, Paul, and Mary

I like this song for two reason: (1) it expresses the oneness of humanity, and (2) it encourages me to sang along with the artists. I like this song the first time I heard it, and I detected a spiritual feeling when it was performed.

How Great Thou Art
Various Artist

I first heard this song performed in the Southern Baptist Mission in the Smelter Heights located in Blackwell, Oklahoma. I love hearing and singing the song from the first. I like it because it glorifies the creation of the universe as a creation of God. It doesn't matter to me which artist sings it because everyone I've heard does justice to the song.

The {item:blogcity prompt for DAY 1765
What does the Statue of Liberty mean to you, regardless of its history? If you are from another nation, what does your favorite national monument of your country mean to you?

Statue of Liberty

Lady Liberty is a symbol
of America's potential,
as stated in the Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."3

All humanity--
male and female,
no matter the color of their skin,
national origin,
religion,
lack of religion,
political affiliation,
gender identification,
or sexual orientation--
are created equal,
and are given
numerous "unalienable" rights.

The {item:bcof} prompt for DAY 2158
October 16 is Dictionary Day  . It commemorates the birth of Noah Webster (October 16, 1758), the Father of the American Dictionary. Do you prefer to use an online dictionary or a book dictionary? Why?

Dictionary Day

I use an online dictionary all the time. I do this for two reasons: (1) I'm online when I'm transposing a story or poem into a document, and (2) I can us the zoom feature on my computer to enlarge the print. It's easier to use the zoom feature than it is to use a magnifying glass with a book. I have three dictionaries book marked on my Web favorites: (1) the English Oxford Living Dictionaries  , (2) the Online Etymology Dictionary  , and the Cambridge Dictionary  . Why, because the Oxford and Etymology dictionaries were recommended to me, and the Cambridge dictionary is as good as the other two.
