SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Psalm 23
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" - the crowd would listen attentively. And then, at the conclusion of the Psalm, they would rise in thunderous applause in appreciation of the actor's incredible ability to bring the verse to life. But one night, just before the actor was to offer his customary recital of Psalm 23, a young man from the audience spoke up. "Sir, do you mind if tonight I recite Psalm 23?" The actor was quite taken back by this unusual request, but he allowed the young man to come forward and stand front and center on the stage to recite the Psalm, knowing that the ability of this unskilled youth would be no match for his own talent. With a soft voice, the young man began to recite the words of the Psalm. When he was finished, there was no applause. There was no standing ovation as on other nights. All that could be heard was the sound of weeping. The audience had been so moved by the young man's recitation that every eye was full of tears. Amazed by what he had heard, the actor said to the youth, "I don't understand. I have been performing Psalm 23 for years. I have a lifetime of experience and training - but I have never been able to move an audience as you have tonight. Tell me, what is your secret?" The young man humbly replied, "Well sir, you know the Psalm, but I know the Shepherd."

Practice is now one hour BEFORE the service.
No More breakfast, Coffee, hanging out, or Jamming.
It would seem that all Bikers understand about “discipline” involves leather and motorcycle boots, so that’s what they’ll get.
And I’m just the dame who can do it. LOL!
I wrote three more songs this week, so we’ve got a LOT of work to do this morning.

Good morning to everyone at the Canteen. It's a warm 63º here today. Have a Blest Lord's Day.

The weather here is better than that back east for once. The post office is still closed form the flood but I don’t miss it much. It has been quiet.
May your weather be fair and sunny.
