Things I want to do in my life (this list will be added to periodically)

1. I want to jump and skip and dance down the sidewalk in front of where I live while I'm blasting "I got a feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas...cuz that song makes me happy.

Psalm 57 amended

I am angry.
So, 'be merciful to me, O God,
Be merciful.'
I am so afraid and worried.
So, 'I come to you for safety.'
I want us to feel safe but I don't.
So, 'in the shadow of Your wings,
I [will] find protection.'
I am scared, God,
So I'll hide in You
'Until the raging storms are over.'
My needs weren't getting met.
So, 'I call to God, who supplies my every need.'
I heard the most painful answer to my question!
Now, instead,
I trust that You 'will answer from heaven
And save me.'
I was cheated on, double-crossed, and used.
But You 'show me [Your] constant love
And faithfulness.'
I am overwhelmed by the pain of the past;
'I am surrounded by enemies...'
I am full of grief in the present;
'My enemies have spread a net to catch me.'
And I am easily paralyzed by fear of the future;
'I am overcome with distress.'
But the pain, grief, and fear do not win--
'They dug a pit in my path,
But fell into it themselves.'
So I turned my will and my life
Over to the care of God;
'I have complete confidence, O God!'
Joy will again be mine!
'I will sing and praise you!'
It feels like I'm finally alive!
So 'wake up, my soul!'
Life is waiting for you to live.
'I will wake up the sun.'
For great is Your faithfulness to me.
'I will thank you, O Lord,
Among the nations.
Your constant love reaches the heavens;
Your faithfulness touches the skies.'

Amen.

Vanity or Sanity?

Is it weird and vain that I like to listen to myself sing?
...especially songs by Alison Krauss, Mindy Smith, and Black Eyed Peas...

from February 2007

I lost my cell phone
Along with my mind.
Wherever they are,
I hope they're together.
