This morning our Pastor spoke about Psalm 107. He said we need to tell Jesus when we are wandering, when we are in darkness, when we are under judgment and when we are in the storm. We need to learn to humble ourselves and seek help first....not as the last resort!
We sang a wonderful choir song today for Lift up Your Heads. I think it is too new to be out but I found this version that I liked. I hope you enjoy it too.
Verses for today:
Psalm 107: 13-14 New International Version
13 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the deepest gloom and broke away their chains.
If you get the chance maybe read all of Psalm 107. It is pretty awesome!
This morning I went forward to stand in for prayer for several of my online SaSR friends and other online friends who are facing medical difficulties! I hope you felt the extra power and peace from God!

Martha's Bookshelf *** Friday Picks February 19, 2010- UPDATED RULES!
Bookshelf Perspective by the prentenda - Flickr
PLEASE NOTE UPDATED RULES IN RED BELOW!
I thought I would do an update on the Friday Pick for new visitors and so the list would be in one place. You can still go to the Friday Pick list link to see each post and the book pictures if you want!
If you saw the pictures posted of my bookshelves and boxes you know I do have lots of books! And that doesn't include the other eight or so boxes at my office!! And more books as I find deals too good to pass up! I am sharing my book bounty by the Friday Pick Giveaways.
I have posted ten Friday Pick posts with 16 books each. I will strike out the books as they are chosen. Some of the books may be chosen by winners in the SaSR weekly drawings. So it will be first pick to the one who claims it. SaSR winners are announced Friday mornings (or afternoon if I get busy!) and it usually takes that person a bit of time to get back to me. That means the Friday Pick winner who is drawn Thursday night will usually get the choice named in their comment as I will have time to remove it from the file list before announcing the winner at SaSR.
Because postage to overseas can be prohibitive I am willing to give a $5.00 book certificate to international winners - Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, TWRP, ClassAct Books, eTreasures, Desert Breeze, etc....you tell me where and I'll set it up. So for my overseas visitors your comment may indicate a smaller book and I'll check postage or note your choice of gift card.
TO ENTER:
Leave a comment and tell me WHICH BOOK you would like to get from the Friday Pick lists (less whichever books might be picked by the comment or SaSR winners each week). PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM SETTING A NEW CUT OFF TIME AS THURSDAY NIGHTS AT 10:00 PM CENTRAL so I do not have to stay up past midnight to do the winner post!
I will randomly pick two winners to announce the next Friday.
ALSO, TO SAVE ME EXTRA WORK, I WILL ASK THE WINNERS TO CHECK THE WIN POST ON FRIDAYS AND E-MAIL ME THEIR ADDRESSES at mesreads@gmail.com. I will confirm receipt of the addresses. If I have the winners e-mail I will send a reminder over the weekend but I won't be so rushed on Fridays! So I still recommend that you leave your e-mail especially if you are new and I don't have a way to find it!
Thanks for helping these books find a new home!!
Repeating this helpful blog tip: You can right click on a link and you will be given the choice to open the link in a new window or tab so you do not navigate away from the screen you are on!! I use this all the time!
