Colossians 3:15 Let the peace that Christ gives rule in your hearts. As parts of one body, you were appointed to live in peace. And be thankful. It’s really hard to feel this peace the apostle Paul talks about here. Events in our world consistently rob us of any peace that might bring us

Looking Up
Psalm 57:10-11 Great is your love. It reaches to the heavens. Your truth reaches to the skies. God, may you be honored above the heavens. Let your glory be over the whole earth. For this, I’m grateful. I’m a cloud watcher. Maybe because growing up on a farm it was what we did.

In the Heavens
Psalm 8:3-4 I think about the heavens. I think about what your fingers have created. I think about the moon and stars that you have set in place. What is a human being that you think about him? What is a son of man that you take care of him? I distinctly remember the first
