I am making my way through Psalms... still. And last week I read chapter 90, From Everlasting to Everlasting. I loved it and thought I would share it. I really loved the verse 2. "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, for everlasting to everlasting you are God." He amazing is so amazing!!!
"Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
You return man to dust and say, "Return, O children of man!"
For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream, like grass that is renewed in the morning:
in the morning it flourishes and is renewed; in the evening it fades and withers.
For we are brought to an end by your anger; by your wrath we are dismayed.
You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
For all our days pass away under your wrath; we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.
Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you?
So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on your servants!
Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, and for as many years as we have seen evil.
Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!"

(As some of you know, hurricane Irene came through this past weekend, causing us to lose power. So I am posting all the pictures I would have posted for A Snapshot from Life.)

Interesting Morning...
So this morning I got up once again at 6:30 to take mom to work. And I must say, if you get up this early, you must be an alien... because I don't know how you do it. Anyways... to my morning.
It all started when I was getting ready, brushing my teeth, wetting my hair (I have to wet it every morning, because it's everywhere when I get up haha) Well, my cat, Snuggs goes in with my every morning. And while I was brushing my teeth, he was waiting by the door. He was staring at the corner where the hinges are. So when I was done, I told him he was standing at the wrong side of the door. He looked at me, and then walked over to the right side! It was so funny! It was like he knew what I had said!
Well, I dropped mom off at 7, and headed to Kroger to get some gas for the car. I'm sure I was a site to be hold. Wet hair, barely awake, zip-up hoddie unzipped, Colts t-shirt, Nike snap pants, and flip flops. As I was filling up, a Jehovah's Witness lady came over and started talking to me. hahaha I'm sure I looked like I had a hangover or something. She wanted to give me a booklet to read, and I told her I was a Christian. I'm sure she did not believe me, because I'm sure they get people saying that a lot to get them to shut up. Anyways, I took the booklet (I was not in the mood to talk) and as she was turning around, she started to talk about the earthquake yesterday. She asked me what I thought about it, and all I said was I thought it was interesting. haha She went on to tell me how she wasn't dressed when it happened, but later that night, when she felt the after shock, she was "dressed and ready". haha I knew exactly what she was getting at!
That concludes my interesting morning... for now. I've got 4 more hours.
On another note. When a Jehovah's Witness comes to talk to you, what do you say? What are things you can say that won't get you into an argument? Any tips?
