    Who said a series of 7 can't have 8 - or even 9 - parts? If you don't believe me, ask Douglas Adams. Look him up - if you haven't read his books, they're hysterical! Most believe that this psalm was written during the years David fled for his life from Saul’s jealous rage. He hid in forests and in dark caves.  Even in this difficult situation, David expressed total faith in his Lord. Surely… Read More

      Who are You?     Yesterday morning while reading John 1:19-28, I studied the passage where John was baptizing in the Jordan River. Priests and Levites approached him with their own agenda, mostly about who he was.

            Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Psalm 23:4   This isn’t my favorite verse.   I prefer lying in green meadows beside still waters.   God fills our lives with times lying in the green meadows to strengthen us for the times we must walk.   Even though I walk…   I would be happier… Read More
