I am excited today! Yes, filled with the deep sense of hope that beckons a full heart's response. Reading an essay online by Brian McLaren called Emerging Values--- http://www.christianitytoday.com/le/2003/003/3.34.html

I pause in the middle of it and realize - yes Lord! - the things you have been doing in my life lately are true.
I feel the Shepherd's staff, I move, he moves me.
I feel the Shepherd's staff, I'm safe, he loves me.
I feel the Shepherd's staff, I'm not alone, he's with me.

Cool. The Lord is good, and his love endures forever.
