Finally!!!!   16 days without a computer.  I didn't realize that I was so hooked to blogging to all of you.  To say I am disgusted with my phone company is an understatement.

So, I have read all 150 Psalms twice without sharing much of anything.  I have underlined many of the verses but certainly can't talk about them all.

Psalms 8: 3-5  "When I consider the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained; What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that you visit him?  For you have made him a little lower than the angels and have crowned him with glory and honor."

Sometimes I get full of myself and elevate myself to the center of importance in my world.  And then, like this morning, I look up when I go to get the newspaper, and there are the stars.  Millions of them.

They are such a contrast to the weather we have been having.  Fog, ice, freezing rain, snow.  You forget the sky.  Everything is gray and gloomy.  And then the temperature rises, the sky clears and the sun comes out.  The night is crystal clear.  The stars twinkle.

And then, like David in the Psalms I ask, "What am I that you are mindful of me?"  When I consider God's handiwork, I am just an insignificant creature on the earth.  One of millions.

Crowned with glory and honor in the eyes of God.  What a privilege to be his child.  The work of his fingers.
