English Majors in the Bible

Honest, they're there. Otherwise, we wouldn't have King David jubilating [yes, I made that up]

"My heart is stirred by a noble theme
as I recite my verses for the king;
My tongue is the pen of a skillful writer . . ." Ps 45:1


Last night I went sky-watching, and today I went painting. I do realize that painting is not something that you can "went, " but I did it anyway, and ended up with the only motif I could think of:
Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty, the whole earth is full of his glory!

[Zap, sizzle, flare, illuminate, blinding us from backlit clouds] [That's lightning; that's glory.]

We didn't have thunder last night, but don't you love it when you can feel the thunder,
feel it thudding in your soul,
wringing out every ounce of awe from your nephesh, your heart, your throat, your entire being . . .
oh, it's indescribable, but I did the best I could.
