Just sayin'...

I am shocked by this world we live in.  Today I feel like we are living on some alien planet.  

Today I feel like so many things that I think about

just aren't important.  

I feel the need to focus and simplify and work and prepare.  

I think someday the words to one of my favorite hymns will become exceptionally poignant to us:

Where can I turn for peace?
Where is my solace
When other sources cease to make me whole?
When, with a wounded heart, anger, or malice
I draw myself apart searching my soul?

Where, when my aching grows?
Where, when I languish?
Where, in my need to know?
Where can I run?
Where is the quiet hand to calm my anguish?
Who, who can understand?
He, only One.

He answers privately.
Reaches my reaching.
In my Gethsemane, Savior, and friend.
Gentle, the peace He finds
For my beseeching.
Constant He is, and kind.
Love without end.
