Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them.  So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord.  That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime.  My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ.  So, thanks again for joining me.  Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

Psalm 16

In memory of my brother, Terry Kauffman.  Here is his favorite scripture.  Psalm 16, A psalm of David.  (1) Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge.  (2) I said to the LORD, "You are my Master!  Every good thing I have comes from you." (3) The godly people in the land are my true heroes!  I take pleasure in them!  (4) Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods.  I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods.  (5) LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing.  You guard all that is mine.  (6) The land you have given me is a pleasant land.  What a wonderful inheritance!  (7) I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.  (8) I know the LORD is always with me.  I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.  (9) No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.  My body rests in safety.  (10) For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.  (11) You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.   (New Living Translation)
