Lilies of the Field

Luke 27-28

27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH6bOaVd7jo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2GSpTo_Pxw

Crying In A Storm涙の太陽／エミー・ジャクソン

This is the song I heard everyday (no exaggeration) from someone's turntable in my Taita freshman year. Then when I was at the Cheng-Gong Ridge成功嶺 for the 2 months summer military training, this song and her other hit on the same album "Say Yes My Boy" were played EVERYDAY again through the loud speaker during the break. In 2002, upon some hard searching, I was shocked to find out it was produced in Japan. My great Aunt lives in Kagoshima and she inquired for me the recording in a local music store. They were so nice as to send me a CD version of "the Emy Jackson Album" (COCA-13946), free of charge (a GIFT) including shipping.
