Great Are You Lord

A reminder of what it looks like to fear God in awe and reverence:



When the waters saw you, O God,
When the waters saw you, they were afraid;
indeed, the deep trembled.

The clouds poured out water; 
the skies gave forth thunder; 
your arrows flashed on every side.

The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
your lightnings lighted up the world;
the earth trembled and shook.

Your way was through the sea,
your path through the great waters;
yet your footprints were unseen.

You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron. 

(Psalm 77:16-20)

La Jolla Mornings

Tummy filled with warm coffee,
Cool sheets offer perfect relief to the flush of my face.
Light, yet unadulterated by the harshness of heat,
Floods in through the blinds embracing my
Limbs strewn carelessly across the comforter like
I can understand why Raggedy Ann is always smiling.
Gentle acoustics serenade my ear,
Propelling me forward as I'm
Carried again into a place of
Joy. O Prince of Peace, what a romantic you are.
Can I stay here forever, here with you?
