After reading today’s passage, I was actually looking forward to writing today’s posting because in my mind, many of these words have already been turned into hymns or songs that we all have sung and loved.  But horrors of horrors, when I tried logging into the blog, I was brought to an unknown website!

The good old days!  People my age tend to always talk about those good old days… Were they really better than today? Job also spent quite a bit looking back today.

The last time we read Psalm, we mentioned that that was the end of the 1st Book of Psalm.  Today we start on the 2nd Book. Bible Passage:  Psalm 42-44 Psalm 42 and 43 goes together. Psalm 42 starts off with a most familiar verse.  Many of us first know this verse through a song [...]

We continue with our look at Saul and David today. Bible Passage:  1 Samuel Chapter 21 to 25 These few chapters talks about Saul hunting down David.
