Psalm 23 (For the Work Place) Remember - Who's the Boss!
The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want. (The gold and the silver is mine, sayeth the Lord. The cattle on a thousand hills.) He gives me peace, (my peace I give - not as the world gives peace - my peace passes all understanding) when chaos is all around me. He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without murmuring and complaining. (For I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.)He reminds me that He is my source and not my job. He restores my sanity everyday and guides my decisions that I might honor Him in all that I do. Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails, unplanned interruptions in my carefully designed schedule, computer viruses that threaten to steal or cripple my work, unrealistic clients, budget challenges, and an aging body that doesn't cooperate every morning, I still will not stop--- for He is with me! (I will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon Me.) His presence, His peace, and His power will see me through. He raises me up, even when others try to undermine me. (For lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.) He claims me as His own, even when there is a threat of job loss or stock market plunges. His Faithfulness and love is better than any bonus check. (Great is thy faithfulness O God my Father.) His retirement plan beats any 401k there is! (Do not let your heart be troubled....I go to prepare a place for you, and I will come again to receive you unto myself that where I am, there you may be also.) When it's all said and done, I'll be working for Him a whole lot longer and for that, I BLESS HIS NAME!!!!!!

Sweet, Jane, thanks so much for stopping by my blog. That, in turn, prompted me to visit yours, and I'm so glad I did. I enjoyed reading your version of The 23rd Psalm. Did YOU write that? It is so inspiring--and so timely for me in particular--this very moment in time--which happens to be 1:36 a.m. Wednesday morning! I have been keeping THE WORST hours as I try to wind down this manuscript and get it off to my editor. I nearly "crashed" the other night, but God preserved me for yet another day of writing so that I could get one more day closer to the end. I have passed my deadline, but God is in control. Reading your 23rd Psalm truly put things into better perspective for me. I'm so glad the Lord understands our innermost needs and meets us at our greatest ones!!!!
So nice chatting. And now - off to bed with me! Tomorrow is another long day of writing!
Hugs and blessings...

Jane, As usual, much meat in few words. How do you do it? It is truly an annointed gift from God. I needed to read this. Thanks!
Hi I'm tired of this machine asking me dumb questions. Donna
