Fix Our Eyes

From Sabra:

Dave wrote a song in 1998 based on Hebrews 12, called “Fix Our Eyes,” and we have been singing the timeless message ever since. In 2004 Dave sang that song at the bedside of a friend who was undergoing a last ditch effort to fight cancer. As I thought of her while singing, “Tear your eyes away from all the sorrow and the pain. Reject the possibility that you have run in vain. Tear away the tangling sin, kick off the heavy shoe, and run with perseverance the race marked out for you.” Lana’s race was nearly done, but we did not know that at the time. She witnessed to those around her the joy of Jesus until her race was done.

We are that joy set before Jesus. He counted us all worth the cost. Enjoy your race every day. The finish line will be well worth the struggle of this life.

Cheese

From Sabra:

Wisconsin is a great state. I was born and raised, for the most part, in Wisconsin. I lived for time in Wausau, Madison, Milwaukee, Watertown, and finally West Bend. One of the great treats you get to eat when living in what used to be called the “dairy state,” is Cheese Curds.

After singing at Shepherd of the Hills, in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin we were guests at one of their potluck dinners. It was a normal sort of potluck that you might find in any church except for the huge bowl of cheese curds! I had to take a picture.

Cheese Curds

Cheese curds remind me of traveling as a child from Milwaukee to Wausau to see my grandparents. We always stopped at one of the many “Wisconsin Cheese” stores along the way. Never mind the chocolate, we all wanted cheese curds.

Now as we travel to different parts of the country, I always enjoy a taste of the region. Of course my favorite is the big bowl of cheese curds.
