Through the Psalms

Psalm 22: 16-18

“Dogs surround me,

A pack of villains encircles me;

They pierce my hands and my feet.

All my bones are on display;

People stare and gloat over me.

They divide my clothes among them

And cast lots for my garment.”

This psalm of David is so painfully beautiful. Written approximately 1,000 years before Jesus’ time on earth, David prophesies his crucifixion. This is so astounding. We truly serve an amazing God.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
