I ask your prayers for Jacob Blake Jr
29, who was shot in the back by police
in Kenosha Wisconsin and is in the
hospital, paralyzed; for his parents
and siblings and for his children,
who were in the back of the car
when he was shot,and for the
community and the nation.
Lord,hear our prayer.
In the
morning,
Lord, you
hear my
voice, early
in the morning,
I make my appeal and watch for you.
Though it was entirely gray this morning.
Those who
delight in the…
Lord are like
trees that are
planted by
streams of
water
with
… leaves that do not wither.
ST Bartholomew
Apostle,
God was at it again this
morning. I looked & look-
ed for an iimage of a tree
planted by a river and
finally God said “What
about this one, toots?
Still I passed it by, thinking "it's just leaves."
“Right,” God smiled, "That’s the point.” Oh
yea - you KNOW there's water nearby if the
leaves are ingood shape. I love my Life.
Hap-
py
are
they…
whose
hope
is in the Lord their God.
I looked &
looked & looked
for & At images of
anchors. I saw this
(hey, it’s turquoise) &
passed by - it’s not an
anchor. I ended my search
& considered each images on
the desktop… real life anchors,
Sculptures of anchors, stylized
anchors, anchors traced in the sand.
.Finally God whispered “You know, Louise
when you are really USING your faith to
anchor you, you don’t cannot see it! Oh, righ.
Let my
prayer
be set
forth
in
your
sight
as incense,
the lifting up
of my hands as
the evening sacrifice.
