Friday, March 8 
Jeremiah 11:1-8, 14-20
Psalms 88, 91, 92
Romans 6:1-11
John 8:33-47
Psalm 92 – from the Message

“What a beautiful, God, to give thanks, to sing on them to you, the High God! To announce your love to each day break, sing your faithful presence all through the night. Accompanied by dulcimer and harp, the full-bodied music of strings”

I have just returned from a trip to Mexico for the funeral of a very long friendship friend – I was in Guadalajara with her husband, 4 children and 5 of 8 grandchildren – I felt it would be a very sad experience, but discovered a great camaraderie among all there – a loving wonderful thing (Marcy, I followed it). The service was at St. Marks Anglican Church and Debbie (eldest daughter) had sung with the Jalisco Choral before, and somehow on one days notice, they came – Director and all. After a lovely service, they broke into the “Alleluia Chorus.”  Not a dry eye but rising to our feet – arms lifted, “joy!!!”
“What a beautiful, God, to give thanks,
to sing an anthem to you, the High God!”
