Psalm 16 -The Messiah’s Prayer…The Believer’s Prayer
T h e mother is sitting at the bed side of her three-year-old. Every night for the last month, the mother has been speaking one petition of the Lord’s prayer and then giving her t-hreeyear- old a chance to repeat after her. Soon there is no need for a pause because the child has the prayer memorized. That child grows up and repeats the practice for children. This important practice is ours to continue. Today we will use Psalm 16 to teach us to pray and confess the joy of our own resurrection.

Weather can be unpredictable this time of year, so taking precautions can keep you and your loved ones safe.
What a little train trip can do
Spring leaped out at us in New York last week — suddenly one day it was 80, just like me — it sprang at us shang a lang lang as once we’d sung so we were sprung from the steel corset of winter and I took a couple of Londoners to lunch at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station where, when I was 11, I ate my first oyster on a trip from Minnesota with my dad. I saw him eat one and so I ate one and I trace my independence back to that 1953 oyster — when you eagerly devour something that would disgust your beloved aunts, you’ve taken a step toward becoming your own person.
