Hawk ID
































On a cold gray yesterday, there was a visitor in our yard.  Perched on a rock that tops a tall stump, we could have mistaken it for a statue, had it not been for the occasional turn of the head.  It was only there briefly, before effortlessly, it glided into the woods.

Hope one of you birders can help us with identifying this bird.

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.
