Praise the Lord.^[a]

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

²Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord
or fully declare his praise?
³Blessed are those who act justly,
who always do what is right.

⁴Remember me, Lord, when you show favor to your people,
    come to my aid when you save them,
⁵that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones,
    that I may share in the joy of your nation
    and join your inheritance in giving praise. Psalm 106 1-5

In your mind, what does it take to get noticed by God?

This summer we hope to be able to afford replacement shakes and gutters or at least a paint job and shake repair. We also hope to do some of the much needed yard work.

This week we were asked to start shopping in two week stints to limit the amount of exposure each of us have to the public, as cases of the Covid-19 mount across the state. I could feel the fear as I was shopping yesterday. One man yelled at me when I pulled down my face mask for a moment to defog my glasses.

In the midst of our world falling apart around us by bits and pieces, I have been “attending” an on-line retreat regarding the sorrows of Passion Week. Today our leader in the retreat wrote this:

“Where is our hope? Our hope is in a God who died publicly humiliated outside the walls of a minor city in a great empire. This…
