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.
