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 11 – Shelter
We have finally come to a day without a lot of rain. Its been a really rainy Spring (the number of times I’ve had to mow the lawn reminds me of that) so there have been LOTS of days when I’ve needed to bring my […]
Psalm 10 – Speed
This past weekend, I took my boys to Indianapolis for one of the practice/qualifying dates at the Indy 500. It was awesome to hear and feel the sound and power of the cars as they flew by on the track. I also, of course, was […]
Psalm 5 – Enough
Julian of Norwich prayed, “God, of your goodness, give me yourself, for you are enough for me. I may ask nothing less that is fully to your worship, and if I do ask anything less, ever shall I be in want. Only in you I […]
Psalm 4 – Wide Open
I’m an open space person. Growing up surrounded not by thick woods, but by open space, I have it in my bones to find spaces where I can take in huge vistas. They are soul renewing for me. So when I read the NET translation of […]
Imago Scriptura 81 – Psalms 51-53 & Romans 2 – Upside Down
So, I took this picture laying on a rock on the boulder field below Devil’s Tower while leaning my head backwards. Why? Because I thought it would be good to do – the kids thought I was crazy. But it captures something for me about […]
Imago Scriptura 74 – Psalm 1-3 – Sanctuary
This was my sanctuary for worship this morning. It is Sunday morning and we are heading from North Dakota back down to South Dakota for several days of camping. My morning started at 4:30am heading to an overlook at the entrance to Teddy Roosevelt National […]
Wait for the Lord 04 – Set us Free
I have used this statue more than a few times in my pictures but it seemed especially appropriate tonight. Nouwen’s devotion is a “positive” one – looking back on the memory of Christ’s birth enables us to look forward to the progress of the fulfillment […]
Gratitude 11 – Fog
I love foggy mornings. So, this morning when I woke up, I was so excited to see the thick fog outside. It was still dark when I looked outside and saw the beautiful glow of the streetlights through the fog. It was beautiful this morning. […]
Psalm Photos – 28 – Rock
Psalm 28 To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, do not refuse to hear me, for if you are silent to me, I shall be like those who go down to the Pit. Hear the voice of my supplication, as I cry to you […]
Psalm Photos – 07
This picture may seem like a bit odd for the Psalm for today, but I read this Psalm as an already but not yet type of message. An already in that the Psalmist acknowledges that God is his shield, his protector, and offers up his […]
Psalm Photos – 05
This Psalm speaks to me in a very real way this day. So thankful for these words. Thankful for the God who is so beautifully represented in this painting that I have kept for a long time. So thankful for a dear friend who walked […]
