  Excerpt from God Speaks into Darkness How Long, O Lord? Inspired by Psalm 13 Think back over your life journey to mountains you’ve climbed and valleys you’ve encountered. You have found your share of troubles—or they found you, right? Have you noticed that when trouble comes, it often brings cousins and friends? Yesterday the birds were singing. Today even family and best friends are missing. Your body, mind, and spirit capsized. You sent out SOS signals; yet no one responded--and there’s no lighthouse in sight. In times like this, have you ever voiced the Psalmist’s lament, “How Long, O Lord will this last? Have you forgotten me? Will it be forever?” The Psalmist in this classic prayer is uttering a universal cry: “How long will you forget me, Lord? Will it be forever? How long will you look the other way while I’m suffering, feeling all alone and abandoned? How long will this sorrow fill my heart day and night? How long will my enemies triumph over me? Is this permanent, Lord?” Ye

Soul Food for the Weary                                                                                                   Inspired by Psalm 16 If you develop a toothache, you go to a dentist, right? If you need glasses, you call an optometrist; if you need money, a banker. But what if you’re soul-weary?   “Where could I go but to the Lord? Seeking a refuge for my soul Needing a friend to help me in the end (Brother won’t you tell me?) Where could I go, O where could I go, where could I go but to the Lord?”  (Gaither Vocal Band) The psalmist declares: “The Lord himself is my inheritance, my prize.  He is my food and drink, my highest joy!  He guards all that is mine.  He sees that I’m given pleasant brooks and meadows. I will bless the Lord who counsels me; giving me wisdom in the night.  He tells me what to do.  Save me, O God, because I have come to you for refuge.  I said to him, ‘You are my Lord, I have no other help but you.’”

  Excerpt from Of God, Rattlesnakes, and Okra (Easterling) - ATTACKED BY AN EAGLE About a baby-snatching eagle, beloved bulldog, killer rattlesnakes, dumb turkeys, angry sisters, and hard times.   What chance would a kid with a penknife have against a starving eagle? The Hattiesburg American , our daily newspaper, reported that a huge eagle had seized a baby and flew off with it. The baby’s mother had placed her infant in a cradle to be near as she hand-washed its clothes in an outside tub. The hungry bird was apparently watching the baby. When Mom turned her back, she swooped down without warning. The baby’s attacker was thought to be a mother eagle feeding her young. She likely had a nest nearby. As the paper went to press, the baby was still missing. The story made a deep impression on mothers of our rural area. It was a call to arms, the hot topic at Sunday schools and ladies socials. “Our babies must be protected!” The episode etched itself deep into my gizzard. Search parties la
