"My soul clings to the dust;
Revive me according to your word."
So, this is the fourth day of my Lenten practice and my third post here on this blog. This opening line from the fourth section of psalm 119 puts me face to face with something that I struggle with daily. It puts me face to face with my continual want to strive for all the "earthly" things in my life. Now, I believe that this doesn't mean that such earthly pursuits are wrong in any way. Rather, the beauty and pleasure of nature, the caring relationships with friends and family, and even the beauty and meaning of art, music, poetry and prose are definitely good things and good things to pursue. Yet, I need the reminder that they are all the good creation of the Father who is the source of life in my life.
