week end musings

today is the first day of spring!
and though it's raining, i can look forward to this...

 and this...

 and this...

 and these!

ah yes...SPRING!

***********************

the full moon was fabulous and unusual saturday evening...

it was the closest to the earth since 1993.

i know - the picture quality is poor,

 but then how can a simple camera do justice to God's awesome nightlight?

mine can't!



**************************

due to prior plans and an emergency, we haven't had our no. 2 lesson on marriage -

God willing...next sunday!

a text was read today in our service,
based on the question that was asked after the global and personal tragedies...

'How big is your God?'

Psalms 61
(personalized for myself)

Hear my cry, O God: attend unto my prayer!
From the ends of the earth I cry to You, especially when I'm overwhelmed:
lead me to the Rock that is higher than me.
For You are a strong shelter for me, a strong tower from the enemy.
I will abide in Your tabernacle for ever:
I will trust You in the covert of Your wings.
Selah.

Psalm 62

My soul, wait only on God - my expectation is from You.
YOU only are my Rock and my Salvation - YOU are my defense;
I shall not be moved!
My salvation and my glory is in YOU...
YOU are the rock of my strength and my refuge.
I trust in YOU all the time;
I pour my heart out before YOU!
God is my refuge.
Selah.

my Bible dictionary tells me Selah means...'a musical direction, pause.'
can i turn the pause in my life into a musical...
even the hard pauses?

quoted:
We don't need to understand the hard stuff of life -
what we need is a God bigger than anything else!


...blessedness!
