This is a mix of "mere" Christianity, as well as poetry, history, and a little bit of science-- all from a Christian perspective. Also, here's an assortment of pictures from places I've enjoyed visiting. The title itself is from Anne Ross Cousin's poem:





"Immanuel's Land"


Fair Anwoth by the Solway,

To me thou still art dear!

E'en from the verge of Heaven

I drop for thee a tear.

Oh! If one soul from Anwoth

Meet me at God's right hand,

My heaven will be two heavens

In Immanuel's Land.
