GLORY ROAD
1)Is this road you’re trav’ling dark; deserted or dim,
Is there hope for tomorrow? Put your trust in Him.
On this glory road I’m trav’ling, many times I strumble on my way;
but praise the Lord I’ll soon be leaving
To that land of perfect peace and endless day.
Chorus)
I can see the lights of home
(I can see) the lights of home
I can see Him on His throne.
I can see Him on His throne.
I’m too near to turn back now
I’m too near to turn back now
Oh praise the Lord I’m heaven bound
praise the Lord I’m heaven bound
2)
When my jouney here shall end,
I’ll say goodbye to a world of sin.
In that fair land (in that fair land)
I’ll take my stand (I’ll take my stand),
It’s good to be on this road for glory land.

I’m traveling on the road to heaven. I’ve got a head start on some of my friends and family. The road is dark, deserted and dim. Is there hope for tomorrow? Yes, indeed. I’ve put my trust in Him. My stumbling is almost over. I’ll soon be leaving to that land of perfect peace and endless day.
The second stanza describes leaving this world of sin. It’ll be great. No more temptations. No more TV with its “skanky programs and commercials”. The ads for upcoming TV shows and movies are “R” rated. I’ve never watched Desperate Housewives but I get the gist. Satan and his minions – no admittance.
Rev. 22:3, 4 There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; they will see His face, and His name will be on their forehead.
I can almost hear the trumpet.

Dear Danny, it’s just 16 minutes into this 14th Day of February and I was so hoping I’d get to read your blog for today before bedtime. You’re never out of my thoughts and prayers and I stay in awe of your willingness to continue to teach us what God puts on your heart. I think Valentine’s Day was created to celebrate kind, loving and giving hearts just like yours. We thought 30 years ago you were reaching lots of people in our bible studies which were filled with folks but we could have never imagined the numbers you’re reaching today. I can never thank you enough for being exactly who you are. Love, Judy

Danny & Jean,
Just wanted you to know you are in our prayers. Your faithfulness, perserverance, and hope are such beautiful qualities. You truly inspire us to follow you as you follow Christ. (That’s the message written on the back of Tyler’s Trevecca Basketball Warm up shirt).
Love to you guys,
Jerry & Angela Watkins
