Thank you for the pretty fresh thread Amy. Happy June to you all! Hard to believe it was half a year ago it was New Years Eve!!! (and I was sick & missed the shin dig at Severance Hall BTW). Time just flies along much to quickly to suit me.
Funny looking back my life is really not too different than 5 years ago. Same situations, same activities, same issues.. A few things a little better and a few things a little worse.
My gal pal Patty (from Jr. High) retired. Sunday night was her last night of work. 20 plus years on 3rd shift. She has NO retirement package but will get SS & with her health issues getting worse does not need the stressful job with lousy people & a 60 mile round trip ride each day.
Pups & mom doing okay “considering”.
I have been checking a lot less of the news of late. Just too much of the “downer” variety. Not needed in my life.
Will try to do better to check in here daily & play a little. Miss you all.. and many who don’t post much anymore - like me, - who just are consumed with other things at this point.

An African proverb states, The one who asks questions doesnt lose his way. That concept can be helpful as we consider Davids questions in the Psalms. He was clearly seeking Gods guidance for the way he should go.
Look, for example, at some of the questions he asked:
O Lordhow long? (6:3). A question of eagerness to see Gods plan accomplished.
What is man that You are mindful of him? (8:4). A question of awe that God even cares about sinful man.
Why do You hide in times of trouble? (10:1). A question that reveals a longing for Gods presence.
Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? (15:1). The ultimate question of who may live with God.
David had some tough questions for God. He had discovered what it was like to lose his way when he excluded God and followed his own sinful path. But as he penned the Psalms, he was a man in search of godliness, which meant he probed Gods mind about difficult subjects.
Questions. Like David, you have them. Keep asking. Then, through faith in Gods Word and the work of the Holy Spirit, listen as He leads you in His way.
