my cup overflows.

i think that there is a danger in blogging. inviting people to read your blog gives the impression that what you have to say is worthwhile - so there is a constant pressure to be creative with words and/or pictures. tonight i throw away those pressures and write simply (but more worthwhile than anything i have to say) the words of david that i was unable to physically speak tonight with the others:

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,

he restores my soul.

He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil, for you are with me;

your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You annoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

psalm 23
