Mark's Views, Perhaps — from behind my eyeballs
Are you demolished? Because your works are collapsing?
I heard Psalm 90 read in one of our Sunday services. This verse really connected with me:
“And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it” (Psalm 90:17).
And the rising doubt, too.
Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear.
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh,
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
Yep, Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart was one of the songs we sang in church tonight.
That is quite the stanza — so pertinent to me!
I’m just noticing, though, that the author seemed to think the patience learned through unanswered prayer would check both rising doubts and rebel sighs.
Oh. My.
It seems I’ve certainly had plenty of some of those…
Only is a little four-letter word.
But it sure can encompass great things!
I just read this at WebMD:
The benefits of regularly eating healthy fish keep piling up. It lowers blood pressure, cuts the risk of irregular heartbeats, and drops the risk of fatal heart disease by 36%.
It also seems to lower the risk of stroke and some cancers, improve your mood, and help with other conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

I stood at our dining table not that long ago this evening, droopy of eye and droopy of spirit.
Scanning the table for something different, I saw it: a little, dark blue, hardcover book. Daily Strength for Daily Needs, declares the gold print on the spine.
I opened it randomly. Oh, hey! A day-by-day devotional book. And what, pray tell, might I find for today? Read it all
