 Singing a Psalm today

The Psalms are songs coming from the heart of those who have written them down. Each Psalm Is a very human heart cry and may not be doctrinally correct but are very real and very human.

Each Psalm Is a reminder God wants And desires To listen to the very real Cries and even screams of our hearts. We may want to hide the anger and fury in our hearts but God knows all we are thinking and who we are. Each song reminds us God desires and is willing to listen to our very thoughts and desires.

Through the psalms may you learn to humbly, expectantly, desperately and even angrily cry out to God and sing your own psalm to God!

When my children were young they loved to watch Sesame street and a song written by Joe Raposo still is a blessing to me.


Sing, sing a song

Make it simple to last

your whole life long.

Don’t worry if it’s not good enough

for anyone else to hear

just sing, sing your song.


May you find your own song and lift it up to God, the only audience that matters!





Authors note

“Come now, and let us reason together,”

““Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.” (Isaiah 1:18 NKJV)


Prayer is how we are able to “reason” with God no matter who we are or how we live. Reasoning with God allows us to converse with God by sharing our feelings and needs while also listening to God’s guidance and call.

To me it is amazing God even desires to listen to us but it is breathtaking God desires to reason and converse with us! This is a reminder Jesus died so we could once again have a relationship with our creator.

If you decide to sing your way through the Psalms take this opportunity to converse and reason with God who longs to communicate with you.

April 3, 2018 Tuesday “But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.” Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there , and did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, an

September 3, 2017 Sunday             Even after a long Saturday I was able to go to Asbury and receive Communion and to worship my Lord and My Love.   We stayed for Sunday School and Peggy had a great lesson from Dr Kalas’ book Parables From the Backside Volume 2 .   A great class, a great teacher and a great book.               In the afternoon I tried to sleep but just was able to rest some.   VERY worn out by being so busy but it was good.   Bonnie remembers when we would visit Gramps, her grandfather; he would say that he would enjoy the memory of our visit for weeks.   Now I understand what he meant.   So many wonderful memories nourish me every day.

May 19, 2017 Looking back             As weeks turned to months the memories grew and even connected together.  A dark memory from my time in the Navy connected with a dark memory from my childhood.  Each one as I explained to my counselor and to Bonnie had a “ghost” with it.  A person who seemed to haunt my life.  Watching the news connected to a memory and suddenly I could smell, taste and see the memory and it became more real than my daily life.              At the same time I was growing weaker and the pain in the body was increasing.  There was a general weakness that began in my fingers and toes and moved upward more rapidly in my legs than arms.  The cramps became an agony and happened at least two times a night.  Lasting for about an hour each time I became more and more sleep deprived even with my C-Pap machine.             I contacted my Staff Pastor Parish Relations person and the District Superintendent to let them know about the trouble I was having as I was sl
