For Sunday, August 28: He Lifted Me

So I'm getting hard pressed to find hymns on YouTube, or otherwise, that well...are done decently.  I'm sorry but hymns are kinda a thing of the past and YouTube can only offer so many!  Today's, for example, is kind of karaoke style.  The words are highlighted for you as the piano plays the song.  Just go with it, okay?  :)
I picked the hymn because one, I have no recollection of ever singing it myself (this, of course, does NOT mean I never have back in my Baptist days) and two, the message of the hymn is great! 
Psalm 40:2 talks about God being our lifter.  He lifts us up out of the miry pits we find ourselves in.  Whether we tripped and stumbled into the pit or whether we dived in of our own free will, God is there to lift us up and out - all we have to do is reach out our hand to him.  He is the greatest lifter of our heads and hearts.  Will you allow him to lift you up and out of the pit you are mucking around in?  All you need to do is look up and then reach your hand out, he'll take it from there!

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
