Lord, My Rock

May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. — Psalm 19:14 

Today I sang in choir again at church for the first time in 3 weeks. 

It felt wonderful.

It was an orchestra Sunday and the Pt. Loma Strings joined our orchestra for some of the songs.

I wasn't sure if I would have enough breath support to sing all of the hymns and praise songs as well as the anthem, but God kept me going.

May the words of the mouth and the meditation or my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord.

You are my Rock and my Redeemer.

My Savior and my Lord.

May These Words Be Pleasing

May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. — Psalm 19:14

The words that come out of my mouth often seem to be rush out before I think them through.
At times I have foot in mouth disease.
So I have to ask God to hold my tongue.
So my words will be pleasing rather than harsh and abrasive.
Muzzle my tongue, Lord.
Contain it so it becomes pleasing to you.
Let my words be encouraging.
So I can give you all the glory.
Our neighbors have decorated their house with pumpkins.
We are hoping to pick up one this weekend.
Just not the inflatable kind!

Sing Praise to God

I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the Lord. — Psalm 104:33:34

First Presbyterian Church Choir 2011

I loving singing praise to the Lord.

I will sing praise as long as I live.

A few weeks ago I had a chance to record several songs and hymns for our worship services.

Our quartet recorded some, I did a duet, and I got to sing a couple of solos.

Last Sunday, one of those solos was included in our online service.

The words were from Chronicles and quoted God's word to us:

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray,

Then will I hear from heaven and will forgive and heal their land.

Very timely for our world today.

Even with the violence and hatred in our city and our country, I rejoice in the Lord.

May My Meditation Be Pleasing

May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the Lord. — Psalm 104:34

We rejoice in the Lord and in the beauty of his holiness.

Here's the beautiful sunset we saw from our patio last week. 

Yesterday we filled our patio with friends and family and had a fun dinner together. 

After the fireworks we headed back home for s'mores. Max tried them for the first time, and they were a hit.

What an incredible world we live in.

Our God is amazing.

We are blessed.
