Last Word?

How are you all doing?  I miss it when we don't hear for a few days!

I promise this will be the very last word on Stillwater for the symposium, but as this was our last Sunday in Mesa, and we really have enjoyed - yeah, that's the word! - worship at St. Timothys - where we often go out clapping and singing to this Matt Maher 2003 song:

 

YOUR GRACE IS ENOUGH

Great is Your faithfulness, O God of Jacob.

You wrestle with the sinner's restless heart.

You lead me by still waters into mercy,

Where nothing can keep us apart.

 

So remember Your people, remember Your children,

Remember Your promise, O God.

 

For Your grace is enough, Your grace is enough,

Your grace is enough for me.

 

Great is Your love and justice, God of Jacob.

You use the weak to lead the strong.

You lead us in the song of Heaven's victory,

And all Your people sing along.

 

 

Oh, Ok, just one more - not related to the 23rd Psalm, but this struck me forcibly during communion today:

 

ABOVE ALL (1999 Lenny LeBlanc/Paul Baloche Integrity's Hosanna! Music

 

Above all powers, above all kings,

Above all nature and all created things.

Above all wisdom and all the ways of man,

You were here before the world began.

 

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones,

Above all wonders the world has ever known.

Above all wealth and treasures of the earth,

There's no way to measure what You're worth.

 

Crucified, laid behind a stone,

You lived to die, rejected and alone.

Like a rose trampled on the ground,

You took the fall and thought of me above all.

 

and in conclusion,

DUCKlings

 

Today biking on

The Western Canal

We saw eleven ducklings

Learning to turn tail.

 

Fluff balls they were

Still close to their mom,

Yet climbed the steep bank

As we pedaled along.

 

How many times

Were you blessed today?

Swimming spring ducklings

Caused "Hey, thanks!" on our way.
