Sunday: Mountains

Tetons, 2008

 Lord, you have been our dwelling place
    in all generations. 

  Before the mountains were brought forth,
    or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
     from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

 Psalm 90:1,2 ESV

Sunday: Anticipation

 Pay close attention now:
   I'm creating new heavens and a new earth.
All the earlier troubles, chaos, and pain
   are things of the past, to be forgotten.
Look ahead with joy.
   Anticipate what I'm creating:
I'll create Jerusalem as sheer joy,
   create my people as pure delight.

 

Isaiah 65:17, 18 The Message

Sunday: Sing!

Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary;
    praise him in his mighty heavens! 
 Praise him for his mighty deeds;
    praise him according to his excellent greatness!

 Praise him with trumpet sound;
    praise him with lute and harp! 

 Praise him with tambourine and dance;
    praise him with strings and pipe! 

 Praise him with sounding cymbals;
    praise him with loud clashing cymbals! 

 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord!

Psalm 150, ESV

Sunday: Drink

A gift from Ethel made from wood salvaged from a local restaurant renovation. Because she loves me, and because she knows my word for this year is "drink."

Sunday: Eat

And he said to me, “Son of man, eat whatever you find here. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” So I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat. And he said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it.” Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey. 

Ezekiel 3:1-3, ESV

And Deidra:

Sunday: Snow

I don't think the way you think.
   The way you work isn't the way I work."
         God's Decree.
"For as the sky soars high above earth,
   so the way I work surpasses the way you work,
   and the way I think is beyond the way you think.
Just as rain and snow descend from the skies
   and don't go back until they've watered the earth,
Doing their work of making things grow and blossom,
   producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry,
So will the words that come out of my mouth
   not come back empty-handed.
They'll do the work I sent them to do,
   they'll complete the assignment I gave them.

 

Isaiah 55:8-11, The Message
