Sing Praises to God

Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise. — Psalm 47:6-7 

Last night we went with friends to see Million-Dollar Quartet at Lamb's Players Theater.

A fun musical about the day that Johnny Cash, Elvis, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis met at Sun Records and recorded some music together.

Right before most of them signed on with RCA and Columbia.

And when Jerry Lee Lewis was just getting into the music circuit.

It was a terrific show with lots of great music, including "Great Balls of Fire," "Peace in the Valley," "Blue Suede Shoes," "Wichita Lineman," "Down By the Riverside" and "Fever" among others.

Afterward, we met for drinks and appetizers in Coronado.

We enjoyed the sunset and walked along the beach.

Sing Praises to God

Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise. — Psalm 47:6-7 

Today is Star Wars Day.

May the fourth be with you!

We're celebrating at work with a Star-Wars themed taco lunch in honor of Cinco de Mayo tomorrow.

Since praises to God.

Since praises to our King.

God is the King of all the earth.

Sing to Him a psalm of praise!

Bless the Lord

Bless the Lord, O my soul.  Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. — Psalm 104:1

God is clothed with splendor.

He is robed in majesty.

He has given us dominion over the earth.

And Saturday night in the midst of peaceful protests, a handful of looters rode the trolley to Spring Street and decided to burn a couple of banks and destroy some businesses in La Mesa.

Very sad.

I'm sure it grieves God to see us turn into such selfish people, not concerned about the welfare of others.

Even so, God reigns.

He is in control, and He loves us even still.

God Wraps Himself in Light

The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. — Psalm 104:2

God is glorious.

He wraps Himself in Light as if He's wrapping himself in a brilliant robe.

The Lord stretches out the heavens.

They create a tent above our heads.

God lays the beams of His home on their waters.

He is majestic and glorious.

Today marks the beginning of June.

May is over, but God knows our future as well as our present and past.

The Lord is in control.

Greater Than Moses

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. — Psalm 118:1

I am in a Bible study where we are reading Hebrews.

Hebrews 2-6 is talking about Jesus, the great High Priest.

The writer of Hebrews was writing to a Jewish audience and wanted to communicate that Jesus was greater than Moses.

Jesus is the rock of stability in these uncertain times of coronavirus.

He is greater than the virus or any man-made thing.

Here is a photo of Rita and me about 2003, at our home in San Diego.

We were matching that day in our white and black.

We give thanks to God for He is good.

His love lasts forever and ever.

I Will Sing of God's Love

I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. — Psalm 59:16

I love to sing. This Psalm resonates with me, singing of God's love in the morning.

Saturday I got my hair cut and also had my hairdresser, Vito, trim the bangs on my wig just a bit. He graciously did not charge me for the appointment, so I'll bring him a bottle of wine to thank him.

Here's a picture of me in the wig, which I'll probably start wearing in a week or so, when my hair begins to fall out.

And now that my hair is shorter, I won't have as much left to fall out. When it does start to shed, Vito has said he'll be glad to give me a buzz cut, and he'll squeeze me in so I can take care of it as soon as I want or need to.

What a blessing to have such thoughtful friends who help me look and feel my best.

I will sing of God's strength, in the morning I will sing of His love!
