Scritpure standout: Ps 16: "5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup;
you make my lot secure."
Morning thoughts: It is 5:18 a.m. on Sunday and it has been a long week of early mornings between running, royal wedding partying and Granadafest-ying. Today, it is about getting Marley to her triathlon — and rising the sunken ship which is my slumbering family in the wee hours. This cup of coffee here next to my computer is is my stronghold — my security. Oh little mug of coffee, how I love thee! Mornings would not occur without thee oh sweet, dark, vessel of life! Oh darling first five sips of hot, invigorating warmth — you open my eyes and my senses! Oh coffee, you alone are my portion and cup! This is how my morning psalm might sound.
Can I get up high on God? Is he all I need? Is he my portion and my cup? Today I will think on that. Perhaps there is some correlation between morning coffee and this psalm.
The Deed/The Day: Want to deed, but not sure where to start? Well slug your coffee or whatever it is you slug in the morning and go to the First Coast Kids' Marathon. Marley did great, I was so proud of her!
We cheered her on at the start, between the swimming and the biking and at the finish. She was pleased to hear her name and to be encouraged. Who doesn't? Today's deeding included lots of enthusiastic "buddy, you can do it" and "come on, you're looking great" and "way to go!" to lot of strangers.
I saw a boy I admired in last year's race — a little boy with one leg. And Ellie, the beautiful child Mark Woods wrote about last week? We saw her too, and were privileged to encourage her loving parents who finished the race right alongside her daughter. There were lots of heroes in many different shapes, sizes and situations there today.
