Psalm 95

Just because it's a great way to start the day...

PSALM 95:1-7

Come, let's shout praises to God, raise the roof for the Rock who saved us! Let's march into his presence singing praises, lifting the rafters with our hymns! And why? Because God is the best, High King over all the gods. In one hand he holds deep caves and caverns, in the other hand grasps the high mountains. He made Ocean—he owns it! His hands sculpted Earth! So come, let us worship: bow before him, on your knees before God, who made us! Oh yes, he's our God, and we're the people he pastures, the flock he feeds.

Comment of the Day

We were watching the following scene from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in second grade at school today...it's when Jeremy, Jemima, Caractacus Potts and Truly Scrumptious are at the seaside having a picnic. Caractacus and Truly are off by themselves near Chitty, having a conversation, while Jeremy and Jemima are playing on the rocks. Jeremy is watching his dad talk to Truly.

JEMIMA: Jeremy, it isn't nice to peep!

JEREMY: I'm not peeping, I'm looking!

JEMIMA: Do you think they're going to get married?

JEREMY: I don't know.

JEMIMA: Has he kissed her yet? Because once he kisses her, then they'll just have to get married!

KID IN MY CLASS: Well, that's just about enough of that subject!

Did I ever mention I love 2nd graders? I wanted to tell them that was a great philosophy and remember it when they get to middle and high school. Sigh. Out of the mouths of babes...

Mountains...

Last weekend I went to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge for about 18 hours. Because of People to People interviews, and because of being tired from Lighthouse, Mandy and I headed up Saturday afternoon to meet Gina and Susan. It was beautiful. How about the name of Gina's parents' cabin? "Autumn Bearadise!" Love it!
