SUNDAY PSALM

Mt. Robson in the Canadian Rockies
For 50 years we've traveled through these
majestic mountains on our vacation.
This summer was the first time ever
we personally got to see its tip.
I didn't have my camera yet,
but a month later someone took a photo of it
and gave me permission to post it!
Thanks Carolyn!



Psalm 8

A psalm of David.
1 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.

2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:

7 all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,

8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Have a blessed Sunday!

This is one of my favorite psalms. Lovely thought for this Sunday morning.

I saw your comment on George's blog and have to tell you that you DO need an iPod and if you had one you would never be without it. In addition to holding all your favorite music, there are lots of free podcasts you can download and listen to.

We have a Bose iPod dock and I have my iPod on it almost all the time when we are at home. I have several playlists that will play certain types of music depending on our moods. One is filled with my favorite religious music and one is classical. When we have guests, we can have the selected music playing softly in the background. I have an upbeat playlist for housekeeping and I could go on and on.

When my husband had a hip replacement, I made a playlist of soothing classical music for him to listen to in the hospital (and at night after he came home). He said it helped calm him down more than his Vicodan!

I'm glad I found your blog. I'll look forward to your posts.

My Love! Hans Peter Ristau  November 24, 1939 - May 21, 2013 EULOGY presented by his son Dr. Kenneth Andrew Ristau  Hans Peter Ristau was born to Karl and Martha Ristau on November 24th, 1939, in Berlin, Germany, only two and half months after the start of the War. Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later. Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...

Welcome all BATW visitors !! Debbie does a wonderful job taking us to fascinating places around the world! Thank you so much! So, grab a hot chocolate, or that second cup and enjoy the visit. Here are some facts about the Province of Alberta, part of western Canada, where we've lived for 37 years! Thanks to Doris for this lovely winter scene! Didn't have my own! It's winter here now but we do get the four seasons and they are beautiful. Love this photo - thanks Evi! The days are getting longer and soon we will have spring again! The trees should have green leaves by Mother's Day! Alberta's license plates read, WILD ROSE COUNTRY. Click on the rose to read more about it! Alberta had it's centennial celebrations in September '05! We're still quite young! If a 21 year old had ten bucks to his name in 1905 he could buy 64 hectares - over 150 acres. Of course it had stipulations, but wouldn't that be fantastic nowadays. I'd even pay $1000.00, oh ...
