Psalm 40 For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He [...]

Photo courtesy of the Jacob’s Well website. I’ve been itching to visit Jacob’s Well church in Kansas City since I first heard about it a couple of years ago.

This was a weird week for me for a number of reasons. I won’t get into it all, but I sit down tonight, writing this post to flush out the spiritual lesson that’s there. Somewhere. Today I buried another uncle. As I thought back to the last 5 years, I realized just how many funerals [...]
