a not-so-quiet time

January 20, 2011

Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord!  Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore!

“Oh, hi baby! How are ya?  Good? Good!  Would you like to play with your farm for a bit while momma reads?”

From the rising of the sun

“Oh wow!  A pig!  What does the pig say, Sam?…That’s right!”

…to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised! The Lord is high above all nations…

“Thanks for the pig, Sam!  Does the pig have a name?  No?  How ’bout Bacon? Get down please, do not stand on that.”

and his glory above all heavens! Who is like the Lord our…

“A cow!  That’s right, the cow says “Moo”, would you like to take the cow on a walk through the pasture?”

God, who is seated on high, who looks far down on the heavens and the earth?  He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy…

I seeeeee the chicken (holding the chicken right in my face), thank you buddy. I think the chicken wants to go back into the coop now.

…from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes, with princes of his people.

Sure, you can sit up here with me.  Okay, be gentle with the pages”

He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children.

“You want a snack now?”

Praise the Lord!

-Psalm 113:1-9

    I like how the lion and the moose, the gator and the cow, all live peacefully on the farm together! Truly this is what it will be like in Heaven! xoxo
