The High Rock

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.  He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. 

Psalms 62:1

I love you, O Lord, my strength.  The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalms 18:1-2

Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.  From the end of the earth I will cry to You.  When my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.  For you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. 

Psalms 52:1-3

The Divine Refuge

God. . . is my mighty rock, my refuge.  Trust in him at all times, O people, pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

Psalms 62:7,8

The Potter

You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, " He did not make me"? Can the pot say of the potter, "He knows nothing"?

Isaiah 29:16

~

Great Potter,

forgive me for complaining, grumbleing, rebelling, and help me submitt to whatever you need to do to make me into a vessel that meets you approval.  Amen.

The Crafter

Great Crafter,

forgive me for seeing only imperfection in myself

and for seeing it in others.

Like them, I am your work

lovingly,

carefully,

divinely created by you.

Thank you, Great Crafter, and teach me to rejoice in all your creation.  Amen.

Thank you Lord

Vitamin Overload

About one-third of children and teens in the United States take vitamin and mineral supplements, even though most may not need them, suggests a study at the University of California Davis School of Medicine.  Analysis of data on more than 10,000 kids ages 2 to 17 showed that kids with healthier diets and higher socioeconomic status were more likely to take supplements than children who are actually at risk for nutritional deficiencies.  The researchers warn that multivitamins for older children and adolescents are not regulated by the FDA and may cause side effects such as nausea, abdominal pain and liver abnormalities.
