Today we look at a classic gospel hymn that makes use of the technique “call and response”, a song that calls out questions and then responds with the answers, the song “Nothing But the Blood.”

What can wash away my sin? (Nothing but the blood of Jesus!)
What can make me whole again? (Nothing but the blood of Jesus!)

On this date, in 1564, a baby boy was born in Pisa, Italy. His name was Galileo Galilei. He would grow up to be perhaps the greatest scientific figure in history. Albert Einstein called him the "Father of Modern Science." Galileo laid foundations in mathematics, physics, engineering, and the scientific method. But, perhaps, he is most remembered for his groundbreaking discoveries in the field of astronomy. When NASA prepared a spacecraft to explore the planets, they named it "Galileo."

Did you watch the Super Bowl last night? Hope your team won, or at least that you enjoyed a few commercials. I thought Reba McEntire did a great job on the National Anthem. She sang it in under 90 seconds - always a good sign.

Have you heard the expression, "If you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait a minute"? Hot, cold, wet, dry - we get it all, and sometimes all in the same month. On February 8,1933, the temperature in Seminole, Texas was 23 degrees BELOW ZERO!

Today, in that little panhandle town, it will reach 61.

On this day, in 1936, Parker Brothers premiered a new game. They called it "Monopoly". Over 300 million sets have been sold since that day, in 37 different languages. I assume, with some confidence, that you've played this game, and I imagine that there's a Monopoly set in your closet.

Yesterday, at First Baptist Church of Center, we sang the scripture chorus "This is the Day", a little praise song written in 1967 by a 23-year-old pastor named Les Garrett. After listening to his song, I would have guessed that he was from Texas and grew up with country gospel music. But in fact, Les Garrett was born in New Zealand and the melody of "This is the Day" is a variation on a folk song from Fiji - imagine that!
