Eleven years ago, I reflected on this Psalm with a photo of a road in South Carolina with live oaks overhanging the street...What I heard today in this new way to read it was about honoring what is around us from the smallest and simplest to the big and awe-inspiring.
Thanks, Ed I like getting a recap at the end of the week. I really appreciate your photos and your insight into God‘s word and the world that we live in.
I went to church this morning and I felt isolated. I was there with my son and it was a good sermon and I enjoyed the songs that we sung; but afterwards I usually like to connect with folks. (Oh, by the way, there was a smell of sewage in the sanctuary backed up somewhere that they were gonna have to repair . )That didn’t help me focus real well. I tried to connect with some friends and one lady was just on her phone on the church website, but we couldn’t talk much.
I wonder Ed if it’s me thats disconnected and Satan and his little demonites are pricking and proding me trying to keep me away from the real Focus. That I was there to worship fellowship and be spiritually bathed in God‘s grace that was happening, even though I was feeling different about it . Have you ever experienced that?
I absolutely have even as I’ve been leading a service. There are days (and seasons) where the connection hasn’t felt like it has been there like at other times in life.
I’ve come to give myself grace with those times because they do come and go. Sometimes for reasons I understand but usually I don’t.

"The kingdom of what is" could be reality. It could be acceptance. It sounds like a religious riddle.
