My Soul Needs Quiet
It is Monday again, but I am frayed at the edges. I'm not sure I can write much of anything today.
Today, at lunchtime, when I was crying my eyes out, all I wanted to do was be alone with God. So here you are: I will leave you with some of God's words. His words are better than mine, anyhow.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
P.S. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep up with the once-a-week posting over the next while or so. I will probably continue to post intermittently. Hopefully I will be able to return to posting once a week in the summer semester.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

he leads me beside quiet waters,

Surely your goodness and love will follow me

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
