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

Psalm 77 - did God go out of business? · Sep 10, 08:01 AM

Deb and I read Psalm 77 this morning … I identified with it because I have had a lot of insomnia lately ….

1 I yell out to my God, I yell with all my might, I yell at the top of my lungs. He listens.

2-6 I found myself in trouble and went looking for my Lord;
my life was an open wound that wouldn’t heal.
When friends said, “Everything will turn out all right,”
I didn’t believe a word they said.
I remember God—and shake my head.
I bow my head—then wring my hands.
I’m awake all night—not a wink of sleep;
I can’t even say what’s bothering me.
I go over the days one by one,
I ponder the years gone by.
I strum my lute all through the night,
wondering how to get my life together.

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.

To Hell and back again! Psa. 66 · Aug 13, 09:27 AM

8-12 Bless our God, O peoples!
Give him a thunderous welcome!
Didn’t he set us on the road to life?
Didn’t he keep us out of the ditch?
He trained us first,
passed us like silver through refining fires,
Brought us into hardscrabble country,
pushed us to our very limit,
Road-tested us inside and out,
took us to hell and back;
Finally he brought us
to this well-watered place.

Hi friends,

I got back from a great trip to LA with only a bit of jet lag. I had a wonderful time visiting with my friend, pastor Kevin, and speaking in his church. I also spent Saturday afternoon visiting a missionary who lived in Cuba from 1952 through the Cuban Revolution in 1959….
