     If you know me at all, you know that music is my passion, and especially hymns and other sacred music. So it should not surprise you that one of my favorite clippings is a list of hymns associated with occupations. It's been around a time or two, but I always enjoy reading these again. And so, I share this list with you, author unknown.

Dentist's Hymn...Crown Him With Many Crowns
Weatherman's Hymn...There Shall be Showers of Blessings
Contractor's Hymn...The Church's One Foundation
The Tailor's Hymn...Holy, Holy, Holy
The Golfer's Hymn...There Is a Green Hill Far Away
The Politician's Hymn...Standing on the Promises
The Optometrist's Hymn...Open My Eyes That I Might See
The IRS Agent's Hymn...I Surrender All
The Gossip's Hymn...Pass It On
The Electrician's Hymn...Send the Light
The Shopper's Hymn...Sweet By and By
The Realtor's Hymn...I've Got a Mansion Just Over the Hilltop
The Massage Therapist's Hymn...He Touched Me
The Doctor's Hymn...The Great Physician

     And for those who speed on the highway, think about these hymns as you go along your merry way.

45 mph...God Will Take Care of You
65 mph...Nearer My God to Thee
85 mph...This World is Not My Home
95 mph...Lord, I'm Coming Home
100 mph...Precious Memories
