Weekend Worship: The Place The Streams Come From

The sun rises and the sun sets,
 and hurries back to where it rises. 

 The wind blows to the south   
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
    ever returning on its course.

All streams flow into the sea,
  yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
    there they return again.

                                              ~ Ecclesiastes 1 vs 5-7

Weekend Worship: Rejoice Greatly

The desert and the parched land will be glad;
    the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.
Like the crocus,  it will burst into bloom;
    it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
    the splendor of Carmel and Sharon;
they will see the glory of the Lord,
    the splendor of our God.

-Isaiah 35 vs 1-2

Since I last posted I've been tending to my Mom who as you know has been suffering from dementia. This last Thursday evening we moved Mom from the hospital where she has been for the last three weeks to the nearby hospice facility where she is in the process of passing. She is sleeping, mostly and is at peace. Although it is a hard thing to know she'll be gone soon, I am at peace as well.  I know I'll be putting it all down on paper in the future but for now, I am holding these precious moments in my heart as Mary did. I wanted you all to know so you wouldn't worry about my absence.  The Lord is good and He is close.

My family and I appreciate all of your love and prayers.

Weekend Worship: Revive Us Again

Will you not revive us again,

Weekend Worship: From Mourning into Dancing

You have turned for me 

my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth

 and clothed me with gladness,
To the end that my glory will sing praise to You 

and not be silent.
O Lord my God, 

I will give thanks to You forever.

                                                        - Psalm 30 11-12

Weekend Worship: Write What You See

Write what you see.
Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run.
This vision is a witness pointing to what’s coming.
It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait! And it doesn’t lie.
If it seems slow in coming, wait.

It’s on its way. 

It will come right on time.

Weekend Worship: You Are There

Where can I go from your Spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?

If I go up to the heavens, 

you are there;    

if I make my bed in the depths, 

you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,

if I settle on the far side of the sea,

even there your hand will guide me,

your right hand will hold me fast.
- Psalm 139 vs 7-10

Weekend Worship: Serenity Prayer (Original)

Original Serenity Prayer 

God, give me grace to accept with serenity

the things that cannot be changed,

Courage to change the things

which should be changed,

and the Wisdom to distinguish

the one from the other.

Living one day at a time,

Enjoying one moment at a time,

Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,

Taking, as Jesus did,

This sinful world as it is,

Not as I would have it,

Trusting that You will make all things right,

If I surrender to Your will,

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,

And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.

Weekend Worship: A Way In The Wilderness

 

Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.

See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness    

 and streams in the wasteland.

- Isaiah 43: 18-19
