Sunday evening

The birds of the air, the fish 

of the sea, 

and whatsoever walks in the paths of the sea. O Lord 

our Governor, how exalted is your Name in all the wold! Psalm 8:9-10

Sunday

You

speak 

in my 

heart 

and say 

“Seek 

my face.” 

Your face, 

Lord, will I seek.  Psalm 27:11

Saturday

Cast your burden 

upon the Lord 

and he will 

sustain you. 

Psalm 55:24

Friday

I want to know Christ 

and the power of his

resurrection 

and the sharing of his sufferings...

Phippians. 3:10

Thursday

Offer to God

a sacrifice of thanksgiving

and make good your vows to the Most High. Psalm 50:14

In Bill's memory

Have  

this mind 

among  you 

that is 

yours 

in 

Christ Jesus... 

                                   Philippians 2: 5  RSV 

This was a favorite of Bill Madhey's - in fact, this attitude and his belief in the  Risen Christ (part of this same passage) really epitomized his spirituality for me. But then it took me the LONGEST time to find the graphic I wanted.. But  I finally did- one that I never would have thought of using at first.  But it sure shows the mind of Christ - and NOT the mind of Christ! I LOVE Martha's pinched face!!!  I know that face! And then the RSV translation was right on for this graphic and this time in our communal history.  This version says to have this mind AMONG us rathe than the NRSV which has it IN us! I really think at this point we Really need the mind of Christ not only IN Ourselves individually but among ourselves! 

Thanks, Bill. 

Wednesday

The earth, 

O Lord, 

is full of 

your love;

instruct me 

in your statutes. 

Psam 119:64
