After an online absence of several months, it's my hope and desire to get back into regular blog posting. Apologies to those who have followed me in the past, or who tried signing up while I wasn't around. I hope it will be worth the wait...

Psalm 86:1-7 NLT A prayer of David. Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer; answer me, for I need your help. Protect me, for I am devoted to you. Save me, for I serve you and trust you. You are my God. Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am calling on you constantly. Give me happiness, O Lord, for I give myself to you. O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord; hear my urgent cry. I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble, and you will answer me.
