We are almost halfway through January 2022 already! My, how time flies! It is rather crazy. Dn. James and I spent the first 3 days of this new year in Texas, where the sky is blue from horizon to horizon and it is sunny and warm, most of the time. We had some cool temps… Continue reading Happy Wednesday!

Ready is My Heart
Reading the Psalms as often as possible brings such peace and calm into my life. I have worked really hard to make this a part of my daily morning routine.

Psalm 4
Yesterday, for my Lenter Psalter group reading, I read the 1st Kathisma in the Psalter which includes Chapters 1-8 of the Psalms. I was drawn to a verse in Chapter 4, actually several verses.

I shared how comforting it was to know that "even the saints have had their dark… Continue reading Take Comfort

Psalter Readings
About two months ago I decided that I wanted to add Psalter readings to my daily routine. The Psalter is just a fancy book of Psalms that is used in liturgical practice. It contains the Septuagint version (in the numbering) of the Psalms that dates back to, well, forever. (Which is why you will see… Continue reading Psalter Readings
