Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Shamrock from the lovely Shirley

Psalm 59:16-17 (NLT)
16 But as for me, I will sing about your power.
    Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.
For you have been my refuge,
    a place of safety when I am in distress.
17 O my Strength, to you I sing praises,
    for you, O God, are my refuge,
    the God who shows me unfailing love.

Mac and Hobbs preparing for Winter Storm Stella...

Encouragement from the Word!
Part of today's One Year Bible Blog reading:

PSALM 56:1-13
1 O God, have mercy on me,
    for people are hounding me.
    My foes attack me all day long.
2 I am constantly hounded by those who slander me,
    and many are boldly attacking me.
3 But when I am afraid,
    I will put my trust in you.
4 I praise God for what he has promised.
    I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
    What can mere mortals do to me?
5 They are always twisting what I say;
    they spend their days plotting to harm me.
6 They come together to spy on me--
    watching my every step, eager to kill me.
7 Don’t let them get away with their wickedness;
    in your anger, O God, bring them down.
8 You keep track of all my sorrows.
    You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
    You have recorded each one in your book.
9 My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help.
    This I know: God is on my side!
10 I praise God for what he has promised;
    yes, I praise the Lord for what he has promised.
11 I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
    What can mere mortals do to me?
12 I will fulfill my vows to you, O God,
    and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help.
13 For you have rescued me from death;
    you have kept my feet from slipping.
So now I can walk in your presence, O God,
    in your life-giving light.

Snowy backyard

“One winter morning Peter woke up and looked out the window.
Snow had fallen during the night.
It covered everything as far as he could see.”

Day 1092: A Photo A Day & Book Recommendation

Doug's copy of "The Shack"

**I recently learned that The Shack is being released as a major motion picture tomorrow, March 3rd.**

I wanted to put my two-cents in and recommend the book. I LOVED IT! I read it back in 2009 and it had a dramatic effect on my spiritual life-- I cried throughout the book as the protagonist journeys through brokenness, overwhelming sadness, and anger to a real relationship with God and wholeness.

I loved the visual illustrations of the tri-part God in His different characteristics.
I loved how the story showed a plan to deal with evil done to us in this world, and how (with God's help) we can forgive and heal.
I bought a copy for my Mom and brother, Doug, who were big readers. Doug probably didn't read his Bible much, but he DID read this book and LIKED it! Doug died tragically young at 49, and I will always be thankful that he read this book. I hope it gave him a sense of hope and God's love for him-- and a foretaste of the heaven he is healed and whole in right now.
