Been working on Psalm 25 for a while now. I had an idea in mind for the picture but not the words. Those came tonight. This evening we were leading the memorial service for a dear brother in Christ who had died after a long’s […]

Psalm 24 – Jedi Steps
So, these are part of what my kids call “The Jedi Steps.” (so named because they remind the kids of the stairs that Rey has to ascend at the end of The Force Awakens). They are a beautiful series of stone steps at a local […]
Psalm 23 – Shadow
Once I heard about the eclipse happening this year and as close to me as it was, there was no way that I was going to miss heading down to see it. I am grateful for a family that is equally adventurous to want to […]
Psalm 22 – Forsaken
The other morning, I was heading to an event for the Presbytery and ended up getting down there about 30 minutes earlier than I needed to. Right by the church where we were to meet was a cemetery that looked like a nice place for […]
Psalm 21 – Rise Up
Its been nearly 2 weeks since I wrote about Psalm 20 and each day since that time, I’ve been reading Psalm 21 and wasn’t finding something that just connected with it. Its not that there isn’t powerful stuff in Psalm 21, but just wasn’t finding […]
Psalm 20 – Walking With
This past Tuesday we had a staff retreat at a local Jesuit retreat center. Like many similar places they had a prayer labyrinth available for people to walk and pray. During a time where we broke off as individuals, I took time to walk and […]
Psalm 19 – First Light
Right about this time of year 24 years ago, I was returning from a mission period in Central America where this Psalm was one that just kept coming up over and over again. I ended up taking a picture of a sunrise over the ocean […]
Psalm 18 – Marks
The longest Psalm so far in the book – 50 verses that feel like David just riffing on all the ways that God has provided for him. I have to admit that some of the language (destroying others, etc) makes me more than a bit […]
Psalm 17 – Tightrope
This past Saturday, I spent the morning working at one of the local Habitat for Humanity builds. I was helping to hang drywall. One of the areas where we were working was around the stairwell going up to the 2nd floor. In the preceding weeks, […]
Psalm 16 – Distance
I’ve been praying through Psalm 16 a lot the last few weeks – there’s been a lot happening in my life and in the world that has been heavy on me. Prayers for family members, for friends, for the church I serve, for the community […]
Psalm 15 – More Chalk
A few weeks ago I wrote about a disturbing message I saw written on a sidewalk. I am grateful to have seen something else written that was not an attack on someone but instead reflected beauty and joy. Psalm 15 is one that focuses on […]
Psalm 14 – Proof
Psalm 14 starts out… Fools say to themselves, “There is no God.” I don’t know if I can make the same statement. There are a lot of understandable reasons that people can say that there is no God or god or gods or divine being(s) […]
