Night Songs




Be at rest... O my soul,

for the Lord has been good to you.

Psalm 116:7



It's my guess that David, the great king of ancient Israel, was an insomniac.  
If that's true, he certainly made good use of his wakeful hours, 
writing many songs for the nighttime. 





I started compiling some of these songs and other related Scriptures 
years ago when my Mother's pounding heart kept her awake at night.  
I wrote them out in calligraphy on spiral bound index cards and sent them to her.  
And hey, to my great surprise, my mom liked it!
(Don't they always?) 
When I got a computer and a digital camera, 
it seemed logical to combine these Scriptures in a book with photos. 






There have been a few versions of this over the years, 
and the latest is one I published with Blurb, the creative online publisher.  
They made the process enjoyable and relatively simple.  Take a look, if you like.
You can see it here small, or to read it, go to full screen.
Please be aware that if your screen is large and/or wide, there may be some distortion.

Eyes on the Sky


We've had our eyes on the sky a lot this week.












Monday's sunset over the lake was dramatic.





A quick trip to St. Louis gave us plenty of opportunity to sky watch from the car.





























We were welcomed home Thursday with another colorful sunset.


Linking with Skywatch Friday.

There was a man 
Who dwelt in the East
Centuries ago
And now I cannot
Look at a sheep
Or a sparrow
Or a wheat field
Or a bird or a sunset
A vineyard
Or a mountain
Without thinking
Of Him.

G. K. Chesterton
