    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

    Sandwiched between the calm of blue and the sovereignty of violet, sits the rich color, indigo. Trusting God's provision in the face of suffering: contentment. Storms of Life Chapter 7, Day 3   "Being content in God’s will or in the situations He allows to occur means you have to let go of what you want, and submit to what He wants for you. It may not make sense; it may be painful.
