My dear, tired husband was working one of his three jobs today giving me time to upload another song to Youtube by Julie Lee, an artist that is new to me. I did love her song based on Psalm 121, but I spent so much time working on it that I neglected to go outside on this beautiful day and look up to the hills, mountains really, in my town's backyard. I really should have torn myself away from the computer to do so. One needs to look up to keep from looking down. When I was a girl I used to be told to get my nose out of a book and get outside and play. For that reason I usually sought out private places to read, a hard thing to find in a large family. As I write my husband is trying to entice me away from the computer to watch a football game he had taped earlier to watch tonight. Perhaps I should because it would please him; and that's reason enough.
Unto the Hills - Julie Lee
It's so much easier now that we have tablet computers!
I just did a quick search of past blog posts and found a number of entries under Psalm 121. Well here's another one. I find in July that I am truly living in one of the most beautiful places on earth; and, if the tourists that descend on our town are any indication, I'm not the only one who feels that way. I'd have to go around town with my eyes closed not to see the splendor the the mountains that rise up behind this little city between the mountains and the sea. I only have to lift up my eyes to be reminded of the promises in this great Psalm, and I am comforted. I am thankful for the years of teaching first grade Sunday School, too, with the required memorization of the passage in it's curriculum. I pray that my former students are still lifting their eyes and remembering it also.
