Whenever I feel old, or weak, or like my life just doesn’t measure up, I look to the clouds. In them I see a glimpse of eternity, a reminder that life is so much longer, and bigger, and more mysterious than these mortal bodies can perceive. JE Lillie
He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support.
19 He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me. Psalm 18:16-19
In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.
7 The earth trembled and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains shook;
they trembled because he was angry.
8 Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire came from his mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.
9 He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.
10 He mounted the cherubim and flew;
he soared on the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced,
with hailstones and bolts of lightning.
13 The Lord thundered from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.[d]
14 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
15 The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at your rebuke, Lord,
at the blast of breath from your nostrils.
16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support.
19 He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me. Psalm 18:6-19
A Tehillah is a praise song to God. He is worthy to be praised because He wastes nothing!

7 The earth trembled and quaked,
and the foundations of the mountains shook;
they trembled because he was angry. Psalm 18:6,7
The cords of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me. Psalm 18:5
The sorrows of death compassed me , and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. Psalm 18:4
It is time to Share My World Again. Since this week’s questions haven’t gone up yet and since I was on vacation last week and not blogging for a few days here are last week’s questions and my answers.
What is the perfect pizza?
The perfect pizza is BBQ chicken, But that is today. Yesterday I would have said Hawaiian.
What is your favorite time of day?
My favorite time of day is that hour just before sunrise when the streets are quiet and the world has yet to wake up.
Show us two of your favorites photographs? The photos can be from anytime in your life span. Explain why they are your favorite.
My favorite photos change almost as frequently as my idea of the perfect pizza. I will show you two of my newest favs and they are tied directly to an adventure I took with my daughter Amanda on Saturday.
The tardus was visiting Montague MA on the same day Amanda and I went on our latest Book Crawl.
Amanda and I love to go shopping for used books. It is such an adventure. This time I bought five to her one.
