Psalm 121

I thought to myself what better way to start this blog than with some wonderful verses...the first two are on the back of our bathroom door, you can't beat it.

I lift up my eyes to the hills-
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve you from all evil;
The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.
(Psalm 121)

After the day I have had I can't really think of much to add from my own thoughts but these verses are marvellous!

I hope these verses speak to your heart...your help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth...isn't that amazing??
v5 'the Lord is your shade at your right hand'...according to MacArthur himself, your right hand represents your human need. He will look after you and shade you, at the point of your need.
(I hope that is of some comfort Barbara...considering what you will be going through this month!)
Oh and that reminds me...anybody apart from Gary who is reading this and wants to help provide meals for the Boals when Barbara comes home from hospital, please let me know. This time this ministry is called 'Fill the Boals'....hehe.
Right I am away to read a bit before I head out. Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Greetings again!

Hello there fellow bloggers...

This is my third and final attempt at setting up one of these blogs...if this one doesn't work perhaps it just isn't meant to be! And be warned...these blogs are VERY addictive..I'm not imagining that this one is going to be hold-onto-your-seat riveting, but if you start reading others (girls I highly recommend 'girltalk.blogs.com', if I haven't already raved on about it in person to you) I am not held responsible for the time you spend scanning through the archives for interesting topics.

Somehow this thing links up to the other blogs I've tried to create so please stop yourself from laughing at my incompetence.

On a more serious note...may this blog be used to glorify our master and encourage us to think about Him more and become more like Him. To centre our everything on Him, and to love Him the way we are called to.

I was encouraged to set this up by...yes you have guessed it...Gary Boal. Thank you Gary for your encouragement and the example that you and Barbara set for us. May men be men and women be women!

Enough, I better get back to writing some dissertation! Again, girls (and boys!) please leave comments so I know someone else is out there :) And I apologise now if my writing doesn't make sense!
