Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD;
Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.

If you, LORD, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness,
so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.

Israel, put your hope in the LORD,
for with the LORD is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.
He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.

This weekend has been filled with visits from family.  My favorite quote from the past three days happened after Dad had sneakily made a seemingly innocent comment calculated to produced a lively response from my uncle.  My aunt reprimanded my 45 year-old uncle for being too loud at the dinner table while my 47-year old father quietly snickered at my uncle’s reproof.  

Aunt Christine: “Turk!  Shhh!”

Dad: “hehehehe”

Uncle Turk: “Well Buck started it!”

I usually only read “The Way I See It” quotes on my steaming cups of Starbucks heaven to have a good laugh.  But today I was actually surprised to find the quality of content on the outside matched the the delicious goodness of the inside.  Enjoy.

The Way I See It # 76

“The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating–in work, in play, in love.  The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitations.  To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.” – Anne Morriss Starbucks customer from New York City.

My first blog post (on wordpress anyway).  All my creative powers have been poured into naming and designing my site so any attempt to write something witty and entertaining will have to wait.  But hey at least you have something nice too look at even if you have nothing yet to read.
