Rose Garden

Here's an interesting oldie that my parents played for me tonight. It's a bit nonsensical but I like it.

Rose Garden Lyrics


I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine there's got to be a little rain sometimes

When you take you got to give so live and let live or let go

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings

But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover so you better think it over

Well it's sweet talking you could make it come true

I would give you the world right now on a silver platter but what would it matter

So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy

Come along and share the good times while we can

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes

[ guitar ]

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon

But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go

But there's one thing I want you to know

You better look before you leap still waters run deep

And there won't always be someone there to pull you out

And you know what I'm talking about

So smile for a while...

The Kingdom Series

I just read a GREAT series of book I wanted to share with you all. The front cover of each book is above (Sorry they're not in order, had trouble uploading them).

Written by Chuck Black the series of six books are collectively called the Kingdom series: Kingdom’s Dawn, Kingdom’s Hope, Kingdom’s Edge, Kingdom’s Call, Kingdom’s Quest and Kingdom’s Reign. The Kingdom series’ allegorical narratives are engaging, character building, edifying stories that convey not only Biblical truths and themes, but also an excellent understanding of how all of the ‘stories’ connect.

Through the Kingdom books, Black has presented Christendom with a powerful tool with which we can teach our faith to young minds and hearts. Whether used as a portion of homeschool Bible curricula, an addition to or basis of a Bible study, or simply an enjoyable and spiritually fruitful read, they are a wonderful resource.
