Yahweh Is Magnificent!


 
Psalm 8 (HCSB)
 
1 Yahweh, our Lord,
how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth!
 
You have covered the heavens with Your majesty.

2 Because of Your adversaries,
You have established a stronghold
from the mouths of children and nursing infants
to silence the enemy and the avenger.
 
3 When I observe Your heavens,
the work of Your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which You set in place,
4 what is man that You remember him,
the son of man that You look after him?

5 You made him little less than God and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You made him lord over the works of Your hands;

You put everything under his feet:7 all the sheep and oxen,
as well as the animals in the wild,
8 the birds of the sky,
and the fish of the sea that pass through the currents of the seas.
 
9 Yahweh, our Lord,
how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth!

Caption Contest!

Today Micah reached 2 lbs, 0.5 ounces. In order to celebrate, Olivia (and Micah) suggested a competition. So, here's the deal: Think of a caption for this picture and contribute it in the Comments below by clicking on the underlined word "comments". The winner will get a guest appearance on a popular sitcom, a cash prize of $2000.00, and a special gift from Micah. (Well, maybe just a special gift from Micah!) Micah also asked me to tell you that she is progressing on her ventilator and her lungs have cleared very well because her lungs are growing. Praise God! She did have to have a transfusion to get her red blood cells up where they need to be, because she is making less blood than she uses. (But, hey! She's only 5 weeks and 1 day old [gestationally 28 weeks, 5 days] and is amazingly making making her own blood, how much more do you expect?) So, think of your caption, enter it in Comments below, and keep praying! Add Your Caption Here {click b...

Gone

We saw her born. I cut her cord. We waited. We loved and thanked her birth-parents. We visited with them, ate with them, rejoiced with them. We took her from the hospital. We watched her all night. We hardly slept. We set up stations for changing and sleeping. We fed her. We changed her. We worried about germs. We held her. We prayed over her. We sang to her. We talked to her. We cleaned the stub of her umbilical cord. We memorized her changing little face: her nose, her ears, her blue eyes, her soft dark hair. She was perfect and we fell in love right away. She squeaked. She sighed. She looked at us. She snuggled. She held our fingers. She ate passionately, liked noise better than quiet, and learned to anticipate a camera's flash by the "1 - 2 - 3" that preceded it. Never had either of us been so happy. Yesterday, we packed her things in the car. We started driving back home. I drove. Olivia sat in the back with her. We sang praises to Jesus. Every mile was joy. We stopp...

Jars of Clay

Our Lord tells us through Scripture that we each hold our treasure in jars of clay. Today, while Olivia catches up on some much needed rest and I pause before I start the day, I caught up on my blog reading. Here's how I do it. I start with my bride's blog , and see how she has been reflecting on what ourlife has brought to us. Then, I explore the blogs of people who have left comments on her posts, to see where they are relative to their comments and our life. Then, if I have time, I see who else is following them, and so on. (I have just begun following a few of the blogs I have discovered in this way.) On one such journey several months ago, I discovered a blog called Holy Experience . Today, it was this blog often leads me to the next step, reflection. Now, I race to enter these thoughts before the day catches up with me and I must lay down my digital pen. So, here they are. We contains treasure in our earthen vessels ( 2 Corinthians 4:7 ). At some poi...
