Blog Caroling 2013: Mary Did You Know

by Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene
Sung by CeeLo Green, on The Bible

The Christmas Season is once more upon us, and what is it that we hear? 
Is there anything positive out there? 
Or is it all squabbling over who said this, or who did that? 
Is there any peace in our homes...our communities...our towns, cities and nations? 
Or is this a time of unrest? 
Do you have that same child-like expectancy of Christmas morn as when you were a child? And were they really "the good old days?" 
And if so, for whom?
I am finding more and more the older I get that Christmas was just the beginning...
A time at the end of our calendar to help us to refocus on the true meaning of our existence. 
And as we enter a new year...2014...will it bring us closer to the Reason for the Season?
It is my earnest prayer that we...my family...my friends...and my brothers and sisters in Christ...will rekindle that flame that once burned with a Passion...so that all may see your light shine that they, too, might know Him...Jesus.
Mary did you know...


Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you.

Mary did you know that your baby boy will make a blind man see?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God.

The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again.
The lame will leap, the mute will speak, the praises of the lamb.

Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am.

  1. Debra, this was EXCELLENT! And this Christmas Carol is one of my family's favorite! I'm impressed with Ceelo's version of it; I heard that he sings this carol, but I had not heard it. Thank you so much for adding it to the blog caroling playlist!!

    Wishing you and yours have a very Merry & Blessed Christmas!

Honoring our Ancestors: Free Black Patriots of the Revolutionary War

When I was first contacted last October to assist in some research for a member of the DAR who was looking for the burial ground of her ancestor, Isaac Carter, I had no idea it would lead to such a wonderful tribute--with full honors--to our free black ancestors of Craven County, North Carolina. Nor would I have guessed that I would be meeting together with Ms. Maria William Cole, National Vice Chairman Insignia, of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, and a host of other dignitaries, from the highest officials of the SAR to state and local political and community service leaders, to pay tribute to these patriots. The turnout exceeded my expectation when this event proceeded on a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon, with close to a hundred and fifty people or more, seated on folding chairs under three canopy tents. The microphone cable lay along the wet grass and soon died out, and we, the speakers, were asked to use our "mother's voices" to make o

Using Estate Files to Document Family Relationships on FamilySearch.org

FamilySearch The other day I had a Facebook exchange with a fellow genealogist regarding the valuable resource of FamilySearch.org. This researcher was looking for estate records for South Carolina, and since my husband's maternal line descends from Horry County, I continued to tell her about the records on FamilySearch.org, until I rediscovered why I had chosen to work on my husband's paternal line from North Carolina: not all states' records are represented equally on the site, by far!  Browsing records by location In case you've never searched using the "browse the records" method, here is the process: After signing in and clicking on the "Search" option, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the country file you would like to explore. For this purpose, I'll be clicking on "United States." On the left side of the screen you will find a listing of states to select from. I'll be clicking on "South Ca
