What The Author Wrote For My Day

Today.
Some silence.
Drive time.
Cityscape gazing.
Hip hop.
Worship. 
Thoughts of lost sheep and Zephaniah 3:17.
My pastor doesn't avoid the beautiful reckoning moments of the Gospel.  He reminds me each week of God's character. 'Praise be to God, this is what he is like'  = a balm to my very soul.
Friendship.
Thoughts of Home.
Sunday dinner with kindred spirits and cousins.
Peace and sunny windows. 
Tea...green, cream with honey.


Minneapolis.
St. Paul.
Book people at a book shop, simultaneously lovely and annoying.
Lamenting over pervasive gray thoughts.
Facing the realities of being a Seven.
Journal writing.
More green tea.
A book by Tina Fey.
Best of all...a settledness over my whole life when when I listened again to this song.

Anchor of Hope

Marvelous, wonderful, infinite God
Author of all that is good
Faithful provider and giver of life
Source of all power and love

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise
Refuge of strength to the end
Righteous redeemer and mighty to save
He’s the Anchor of Hope for the souls of men

Gracious, compassionate, merciful God
Radiant, holy delight
Beautiful Father, victorious Son
Source of unchangeable light

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise
Refuge of strength to the end
Righteous redeemer and mighty to save
He’s the Anchor of Hope for the souls of men

You are light in the dark
You are healing for the broken heart
You are hope, you are Lord,
You are life, you are love that endures

Powerful, constant, unwavering God
Shepherd who comes for the lost
Rock of salvation, remarkable love
Savior who died on the Cross

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise
Refuge of strength to the end
Righteous redeemer and mighty to save
He’s the Anchor of Hope for the souls of men
