It has been a very busy couple of weeks. As with most clergy I far too often forget to take my day off, or I schedule in to do just one or two “small” things. Let us not talk about scope creep at the moment.

Yet as I sit and read psalm 121 and let it sink in and reflect upon it all day it is good to know that I am being watched over. It takes a little of the burden off. In many ways it refreshes me because I know if I drop the ball, God will be there.

The lord shall watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time for the for evermore.

Be present, merciful God, and protect us in times of danger, so that we who are wearied by the changes and chances of this life may rest in your eternal changelessness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
