Creator Be Praised

Creator be praised
Let all Your creatures and creations
Live to exalt You

The works of Your hand
Your creation
Your design
Your plan

Every glance I take is full of You
All these wonders
They are Yours to
Praise You alone
I feel it in the winds’ fury
I hear it in the mountains’ rumble
I see it in the flowers’ tranquility

In the swirling tornado
The crushing tsunami
The shuddering earthquake
I feel Your power
Unstoppable
Awesome in destructive force

I feel it in the prairies’ stillness
I hear it in the forests’ jubilee
I see it in the rivers’ exhilaration

In the morning sunrise
The fresh fallen snow
The aurora borealis
I see Your beauty
Unmatchable
Breathtaking in scope

I feel it in the mists of twilight
I hear it in the falling leaves
I see it in the budding blossoms

In the babbling creek
The night crickets
The rustling grasses
I hear the music of Your heart
Peaceful
Soothing in quiet comfort

I feel it in the scorching sun
I hear it in the erupting volcano
I see it in the serene night sky

In the spring blooms
The summer heat
The colors of fall
I understand the cycle You have set
Steadfast
Though amidst constant transition

I feel it in the storms’ downpour
I hear it in the oceans’ roar
I see it in the rainbows’ promise


In the light of a full moon
The glow of sunset
The flash of lightning
I experience Your splendor
Radiant
Glorious in majesty

All these wonders
These daily miracles
Surround and remind me

Of Your love
Faithfulness
Sovereignty

Let me drink in the riches
Never to forget
The Creator

Bigger Problems

I may not be okay but seriously there are far, far bigger problems in the world.   From the devastating earthquake in Haiti, to the tight Connecticut race for Kennedy's old Senate seat, to Health Care reform, to Paula Abdula not being a judge on American Idol this season...  Okay maybe the last one isn't that earth-shattering.  I might get lynched by a couple friends who watch it but I'll take my chances. Part of me is kicking myself for being so selfish and self centered lately.  Who cares if I'm depressed?  Or I don't feel like myself? There are families with loved ones serving in the military in dangerous places around the world.  There are kids and families on the streets, around the world and in the U.S. that don't know when they're next meal will be or how they will survive another cold winter night without shelter.  There are children who have no father or mother; they both died from AIDS, or cancer, or a drunk driver hit their car. How dare I s...

Always with the new beginnings

Wow. A lot can change in a couple months. My first year in Bible Study Fellowship is now over. It's weird. I'm sad to be losing my discussion group. They're a wonderful collage of women from whom I have learned much. They've made me laugh, they've touched my soul and shown me perspectives I could never truly imagine on my own. In another week and half, my ladies Bible study group on Wednesday, which I lovingly nickname my McDanell study, will be finishing up our current book called The Cycles of Victorious Living by Earl and Hazel Lee. It's a good book and I would recommend it. A little birdie called the church bulletin, informed me the Wednesday night group would study Hebrews next. I hope that is true--I'm ready for digging into a book of the Bible study. Lastly, my small group has started a new book. (Yes, I was in three Bible studies this winter. No, I'm probably not doing that again). The book is something Dave L. was reading and thought we'd...
