April 22

Psalms of the Trouble Soul (Continued) - Psalms 61, 62, 64, 69

Sawyer doing one of his many comic impersonations...this time Zoolander.

"Hear my cry, O God;
     listen to my prayer."

I read this and smiled.  It reminded me of a Sunday morning that our worship leader at North Boulevard Church of Christ, John Magnuson, lead us in an almost Gregorian-esque chant-type hymn in which we repeated several times the words:  "O, listen to our prayers."  

Our son Sawyer suspected we'd become a cult and most of the Sunday afternoon chanted "O, listen to our prayer" in a wide-eyed, other-worldly, mock mystic manner...much to our amusement.  

And shouldn't we be so wrapped up in God's things that it inspires our humor and our smiles? Sometimes I think the all-to-serious of us could use a Sawyer.   We're happy to have one.  Along with a John and a Martina -- quite an interesting set of three and we aren't complete without them.  Lord knows.
