Read: Psalm 27:7-14
While traveling on an airplane with her 4- and 2-year-old daughters, a young mom worked at keeping them busy so they wouldnt disturb others. When the pilots voice came over the intercom for an announcement, Catherine, the younger girl, paused from her activities and put her head down. When the pilot finished, she whispered, Amen. Perhaps because there had been a recent natural disaster, she thought the pilot was praying.
Like that little girl, I want a heart that turns my thoughts toward prayer quickly. I think it would be fair to say that the psalmist David had that kind of heart. We get hints of that in Psalm 27 as he speaks of facing difficult foes (v.2). He said, Your face, Lord, I will seek (v.8). Some say that David was remembering the time he was fleeing from Saul (1 Sam. 21:10) or from his son Absalom (2 Sam. 15:13-14) when he wrote this psalm. Prayer and dependence on God were in the forefront of Davids thinking, and he found Him to be his sanctuary (Ps. 27:4-5).
We need a sanctuary as well. Perhaps reading or praying this psalm and others could help us to develop that closeness to our Father-God. As God becomes our sanctuary, well more readily turn our hearts toward Him in prayer.
Allo!
Gonna miss you next month.
Redstone is a fascinating place. Enjoy. Have lived here since 1966.
We’ve live here in Rocket City USA for a little over 20 years and raised two wonderful kids here. Nice place. Interesting history. Good place to live except for the darn tornadoes!!!

I was at Redstone Arsenal for nine months, in late ‘66 and early ‘67, learning how to keep Continuous Wave Radar of the HAWK missile system functioning. Trained in repair from component level up. Werner von Braun was there at the time, some distance from my lowly quarters, working on the Saturn V engine. When that big boy was lit up, nothing on the Arsenal stayed still. You could feel it reverberate through your chest, even at a great distance.
Beside the Saturn V, the most outstanding memories I have is the hardest rainstorm I have ever experienced was there, and the biggest, most arrogant and self-assured cockroaches on planet earth call it home. We lived in big quonset huts, a set was two of them joined by a long corridor at one end with bathroom facilities off the corridor. Had nice beds, bunk beds with big thick mattresses. They were chained to the walls with six foot long chains. In the morning, all the beds would be out of place, at the end of their chains. Every morning, they had to be put back in place and lined up again. Took a while to figure it out, but what was happening was four of those ‘roaches would grab a bed, one at each leg and try to carry us off in it. They couldn’t quite break the chains, though.
