The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. -J. R. R. Tolkien

And now, on a lighter note … Psalm 65 · Aug 22, 08:26 AM

1-2 Silence is praise to you, Zion-dwelling God,
And also obedience.
You hear the prayer in it all.

Fearless at the cliff edge of doom – Psalm 46 · Jul 18, 08:04 AM

1-3 God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him.
We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom,
courageous in seastorm and earthquake,

A place of safety - Psalm 31 - #3 · Jul 4, 07:43 AM

1-2 I run to you, GOD; I run for dear life. Don’t let me down!
Take me seriously this time!
Get down on my level and listen,
and please—no procrastination!
Your granite cave a hiding place,
your high cliff aerie a place of safety.

burned out on religion? Psalm 31 continued · Jul 2, 08:01 AM

6-13 I hate all this silly religion,
but you, God, I trust.
I’m leaping and singing in the circle of your love;
you saw my pain,
you disarmed my tormentors,
You didn’t leave me in their clutches
but gave me room to breathe.

I feel hollow inside… Psalm 31 · Jun 30, 08:18 AM

Have you ever felt like this?

...I’m in deep, deep trouble again.
I’ve cried my eyes out;
I feel hollow inside.
My life leaks away, groan by groan; my years fade out in sighs.
My troubles have worn me out….
