Church in the morning, playing bass, and i did one of my original songs with the band. The congregation seemed to like it a lot and that made me feel so happy!

Later, we had a BBQ at the church. I got some riding in, and spent some quality time with penny too.

I hace A/C in the bedoom, and i’m breaking down and turning it on for tonight.

While the rest of the West is suffering under a massive heatwave, in Monterey it's foggy and cool. It doesn't get above 70 here.

My heart goes out to you.

God’s Protection

Bible in a Year:

• Job 11–13
• Acts 9:1–21

I sing in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.

Psalm 63:7–8 Needles, milk, mushrooms, elevators, births, bees, and bees in blenders—these are just a fraction of the many phobias attributed to Mr. Adrian Monk, detective and title character of the TV show Monk. But when he and longtime rival Harold Krenshaw find themselves locked in a car trunk, Monk has a breakthrough that allows him to cross off at least one fear from his list—claustrophobia.

It’s while Monk and Harold are both panicking that the epiphany comes, abruptly interrupting Monk’s angst. “I think we’ve been looking at this the wrong way,” he tells Harold. “This trunk, these walls . . . they’re not closing in on us . . . they’re protecting us, really. They’re keeping the bad stuff out . . . germs, and snakes, and harmonicas.” Eyes widening, Harold sees what he means and whispers in wonder, “This trunk is our friend.”

In Psalm 63, it’s almost as if David has a similar epiphany. Despite being in a “dry and parched land,” when David remembers God’s power, glory, and love (vv. 1–3), it’s as if the desert transforms into a place of God’s care and protection. Like a baby bird hiding in the shelter of a mother’s wings, David finds that when he clings to God, even in that barren place, he can feast “as with the richest of foods” (v. 5), finding nourishment and strength in a love that “is better than life” (v. 3).

Reflect & Pray

When have you experienced God’s care for you while you were in a difficult place? In what current struggles might you learn to “sing in the shadow of [God’s] wings”?

Loving Creator, Sustainer, and Nourisher, thank You for the miraculous way Your love seeps into my heart in even the most difficult places, transforming them into the shelter of Your wings.

Hi Kathy, yeah, we're getting triple digits here in E. Washington but that's what A/C is for. But I am staying inside, no mowing this week.

Did you get everything done you had planned to this weekend

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Kathy! Great reminder of our WWI heroes!

[luvie]

Born at Sabenes, Austria, on May 1, 1888, and March 19, 1956, Major Cukela died at the U.S. Naval Hospital, Bethesda, Maryland. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
He is a double recipient of the Medal of Honor, one by the Army and one by the Navy for the same action in World War I.
