Quote from Dear Graduate by Chuck Swindoll

What is our challenge? 

Which giants make you feel like a grasshopper when you face them? 

What does your future resemble when you measure it on the basis of facts and figures?

Vision - the one essential ingredient for being an original in a day of copies...

Vision is the ability to see God's presence, to perceive God's power, to focus on God's plan in spite of the obstacles.

Psalms

Recently sickness zoomed in our lives.  Sickness came upon beloved church members, family members and then ever so close to home... right in the door: WHAM!

A Psalm of obsession relates to the storm that crashed through the lives of these loved ones.

This Psalm is so well written by Joseph Bayly  from his book: Psalms of My Life.

A Psalm of obsession

In times of crisis
Lord
when we don't know
which way
the scales will tip
all else is
unimportant.
We couldn't care less about money
things
about what we eat
or whether.
We don't notice
rebuffs
comments that would ordinarily
disturb us.
Our mind is honed
to single edge.
You loom above all else
fill our horizon.
Your will
becomes our food
our drink
the very air we breathe.
Too soon
the crisis passes
and we're right back
where we were
before.
Dear Lord forgive.
