When the darkness and oppression feels palpable; when it feels like something you could reach out and touch, I'm determined to say, “Lord, my hope is in You. I'm thankful for You. You've been good to me. You’ve been merciful to me. You have blessed me.”
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” (Psalm 23)
My friend @kaceyecak whom I loved very much, passed last night. Please wish @KrazyJason & her mother well in this terrible time. She’d want you all, who’ve had such fun with us for so many years, to remember the fun times we had instead of the sorrow we feel now. Take care
