can finally hear
the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the
doorsteps of our hearts.”

Dear
Friends and Schoolmates, It's time for another great golden
oldie.
BONUS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIeY7J9kjg0 - I Hear You Knocking - Smiley Lewis, 1955
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Hear_You_Knocking:
| "I Hear You Knocking" (sometimes spelled "I Hear You
Knockin'") is a
popular
rhythm and blues
song with
emphatic
syncopation, written by
Dave Bartholomew and Pearl King and published in
1955. The original recording was made by
Smiley Lewis, reaching #2 on the
Billboard
R&B singles chart in 1955. The lyrics concern a former lover whose knocking at the door will not be answered. A similar lyrical theme appears in the earlier songs "Keep A-Knockin'" (1935) and "Open the Door, Richard" (1947), to which "I Hear You Knocking" may be considered an answer song. The song was popularized in 1955 in a cover version by Gale Storm in a recording on Dot Records catalog number 15412, reaching #2 on the Billboard charts. The song reached #3 on the Cash Box Best-Selling Record chart... |

| “It is sometimes
difficult to view the problems and permissiveness around us and not
become discouraged. I have found that, rather than dwelling on the
negative, if we will take a step back and consider the blessings in our
lives, including seemingly small, sometimes overlooked blessings, we can
find greater happiness.”
