Your verse...

This Sunday we'll talk about Bible verses that have personal meaning to us as individuals.

My pick is Psalms 100 (KJV):

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

I was taught to memorize this psalm in my first grade Sunday School class. 

I took some time last week and spent a lot of it outdoors, watching glorious sunsets over a lake, being awestruck by crystal clear starry nights, sharing the break of dawn deep in a remote southern swamp, listening to the sound of nature beyond the human hum, being in the presence of people I love. At times, I felt the close presence of the majesty of the universe, and the reality of the fact that we are stardust become conscious, and Psalms 100 made sense for every one of the planet's children that would have it.

Please be warmly welcome at 9:45 on Sunday morning. Bring your verse. Share your story.
