Old Testament  Isaiah 43:1-7
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Psalm 29 [NIV] setting by Henry V. Gerike
Cantor: Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness.
Congregation: REFRAIN
Ascribe to the Lord, O mighty ones, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness.
Congregation: REFRAIN
The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic. The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
Congregation: REFRAIN
He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning. The voice of the Lord shakes the desert; the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory.”
Congregation: REFRAIN
The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever. The Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace.
Congregation: REFRAIN
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen
Congregation: REFRAIN

Okay, I will give you a little peek – – –

I did just break down thinking of Alice’s beautiful and simple faith especially at Christmas time. The kids were wonderful. But that Alice isn’t here is felt deeply, very deeply. Oh that dear, lovely presence. Lord, have mercy; Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy.

Of course, this week there is no sermon to post. Incarnate Word gave me the Sunday off. Paul, David and Ashlei, Peter and I took Al and Sue Kubow to Zion, Detroit. It’s a good thing, too, since they had us and Alice prominently in the prayers. It was good to see our Zion family again. Father Braden had a magnificent sermon on John the Baptist and faith in Christ.

Thanks to everyone who were involved and/or expressed your sympathy and kindnesses this past week at the passing of dear Alice. It was so comforting to see so many of our friends and family as well as to receive greetings also from afar. We are sort of tired today. So we will recuperate and rest as best we can before getting back to various duties.

And thank you for your understanding. There will be a sermon next week, God willing.

I can’t take this anymore. Everyone has “learned” a mispronunciation from our current POTUS. Everyone says, as he says, “re-dis-tri-BEAUT-iv.” Drives me nuts! The proper pronunciation is, “re-dis-TRIB-u-tive”!!!! Say it five times…out loud. Grrrrrrrrrr!
