Friday Fast One – Feast of a Read

BookClubVertical

The Unshelved Book Club has a fantastic read called “Images a la Carte.” 

Guest artist, Lucy Knisley, does a beautiful job with the Friday comic in sharing why “Images a la Carte” is worth reading. (I won’t dare spoil the reasons here.)

If you enjoy comics, I recommend “Unshelved,” because of the wonderful cast of characters, the wit, and humor.

What comics/graphic novels do you enjoy?

Thursday Thoughts – Joy in Psalms Edition

There’s a church in downtown Dallas that had the most magnificent fountain! (So, naturally, I was drawn to it).

Isaiah 12:3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

Isaiah 12:3
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

In keeping with this month’s theme of ‘joy’ I decided to search for the word in psalms and found a few to share.

???????????????????????????????

Psalm 32:11

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Psalm 35:9

And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

???????????????????????????????

Psalm 51:8

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Psalm 51:12

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

???????????????????????????????

Psalm 66:1

Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

Psalm 95:1

O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

???????????????????????????????

Psalm 98:4

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

Psalm 100:1

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

 

It’s wonderful how ‘joy’ and singing, music are often paired in these.

What joyful phrases do you enjoy?

Friday Fast One, Two Videos Edition

The first one, part of YouTube’s Comedy week, was found via Nanuschka’s blog. A funny (and maybe sad?) way of looking at assumptions.

The second one is TammyeHoney’s choice for “Person of the Year.” Wisely chosen, she has.

A couple of clips to start your weekend; a couple of questions to ponder:

1) Thoughts on the comedic video.

2) Who would you select as ‘Person of the Year.’
