This past Friday, I attended the funeral of Theresa Hummel. She is the mother of a very dear friend of mine. My prayer: May Theresa see the light and rest in peace.
At Theresa’s funeral Psalm 23 was read and was yet another version. See previous posts. Regardless of the version, Psalm [...]

It’s Poetry to My Ears

The great moments of your life won’t necessarily be the things you do.
They’ll also be the things that happen to you.
Now. I’m not saying you can’t take action to affect the outcome of your life.
You have to take action, and you will, but never forget, that on any day, you can step out the front [...]

Besides lots of love and birthday wishes, the card inside read:

The PLANS I HAVE for you,”
Declares the LORD,

And not to harm you.
Plans to GIVE YOU HOPE
and FUTURE.”
Jeremiah 29:11

Another Verison of Psalm 23

In an earlier post, I shared two versions of Psalm 23 — a traditional version and a more modern version. I ran across another version, which I really enjoy. Here it is, I wanted to share it. Reflective and relish in the joy and peacefulness.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my pace-setter, I shall [...]

If you read my last post, you know April 11th is Margaret’s birthday. Well guess what, it is also her anniversary. Margaret and Harold, my home away from home parents, celebrate many years of love to each other and for others. I feel blessed to have received some of that love. [...]
Happy Birthday Margaret

A good friend, a very good friend of mine celebrates her 89th birthday today. (Though the saying that 60 is the new 40 applies to her; Margaret is much younger, years younger than the calendar age.) I can’t be with her. Geographically, we are hundreds of miles away. But spiritually we are [...]

Posted in Love, Poetry, Spirituality, tagged Poetry, Psalm, religion on March 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »
A few days ago, I attended a “modern” church service; it was my second time to attend a modern service. I guess my age shows, as I like the traditional service better. I don’t know why: maybe it is because I grow up with tradition. Regardless, I find the traditional service much [...]

My youngest daughter graduates from college this May with a degree in photography. As part of the program, she has to shoot a series of photographs as a themed thesis. She chose to do a set that illustrate the impact of current economic downturn. The situation we find ourselves in impacts us [...]
The Way by John Oxenham

I came across this poem from a 19th century English poet, William Dunkerley, writing under the pseudonym John Oxenham. Eloquently written, the poem’s message transcends the ages. We have choices in life. Take the high way or the right path; take the low way or the wrong path; or somewhere in-between. The [...]
