Poem by Tracie Delich

A valley so deep

I can't see the end.

Where do I go?

On You I depend.

Storm clouds roll over me.

Where is the sun?

There is one Light now.

You are the One.

Give me the strength I need.

None is left in me.

You say that You love me.

Help me believe.

Humbled, so humbled

By all I can't do.

Blessed, so blessed

By all others do.

Learning to take

One day as it goes,

To count the small blessings

Instead of the woes.

I give You the glory

For getting me through.

The prayers of so many

Come daily to You.

Killing Time

-by Emmy

 I watched a second crawl by...I squished one.  

Why?

  How should I know?  

I squished a second...

..so?

         Moon Mission     

     -by Emmy    

                    

I'm going to the moon, and I'm never coming back,

I've put all my belongings in a tiny little sack.

I've got all the equipment with my fishbowl on my head,

and I've even made the rocket which I've stored under my bed.

"Oh no! I was just innocently sitting here when suddenly my Root Beer drained away!..I think I should have a refill."

Psalm 145--Great Is The LORD

Great Is the Lord

 A Song of Praise. Of David.

145 I will extol you, my God and King,

and bless your name forever and ever.

2  Every day I will bless you

and praise your name forever and ever.

3  Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,

and his greatness is unsearchable.

4  One generation shall commend your works to another,

and shall declare your mighty acts.

5  On the glorious splendor of your majesty,

and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.

6  They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,

and I will declare your greatness.

7  They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness

and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

8  The Lord is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

9  The Lord is good to all,

and his mercy is over all that he has made.

10  All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,

and all your saints shall bless you!

11  They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom

and tell of your power,

12  to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds,

and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

13  Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

[The Lord is faithful in all his words

and kind in all his works.]

14  The Lord upholds all who are falling

and raises up all who are bowed down.

15  The eyes of all look to you,

and you give them their food in due season.

16  You open your hand;

you satisfy the desire of every living thing.

17  The Lord is righteous in all his ways

and kind in all his works.

18  The Lord is near to all who call on him,

to all who call on him in truth.

19  He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;

he also hears their cry and saves them.

20  The Lord preserves all who love him,

but all the wicked he will destroy.

21  My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,

and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
