But as for me, it is good to be near God.  I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds (Psalm 73:28).

These are complicated days.

This is a complicated life.

Sometimes, you simply have to simplify.

Take your refrigerator, for example.  Every so often you have to just go through it and chuck all the stuff that’s expired, or fuzzy, or unidentifiable.

Same goes for your garage

or your closet

or, you know, your heart.

Sometimes, when the world swirls with violence and hate and sin and death and despair, and you feel like Toto halfway to Oz, you gotta cling to simple truth and let the rest blow away.

It is good to be near God.

Simple

Truth

Worth clinging to

Happy Friday, Beloved.
