Psalm 51

 1Have mercy upon me, O God, accord­ing to thy lov­ingkind­ness: accord­ing unto the mul­ti­tude of thy ten­der mer­cies blot out my transgressions.

 2Wash me throughly from mine iniq­uity, and cleanse me from my sin.

 4Against thee, thee only, have I […]

Day Five

On August 13, 2009 By

There were more pleas­ant sur­prises and encoun­ters with God in the last few hours of today than in the pre­vi­ous 18 hours com­bined.  God is good.

Today was pretty much a typ­i­cal day at the office.  Thank­fully, there was not as much ten­sion, although work was pretty steady.  In the last cou­ple hours of the shift, things […]

I’ll have to admit that today did not have a very amazing start.

I woke up tired and grumpy (even though there’s no one around to be grumpy at) and almost for­got to put God first.  How­ever, some­where in the back of my head, right before I sat down to check email, there was a still […]

Well, the first day is com­ing to a close.  So far, I’ve kept up the fight and stayed com­mit­ted to the cause.  Of course, its day one.  We’ll see what tomor­row brings.  I can’t say that I had any over­sized sur­prises today, but God wouldn’t give me any­thing big­ger than he thinks I need anyway, […]
