Blessed be the Name of the Lord!

Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Blessed be your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, Blessed be your name


Mark and Chandra also reminded us of the song, "I Will Praise You In This Storm". It is one thing to sing these songs when the skies are blue...but they have such a deeper meaning while the rain is pouring down. For those of you who will see us in church this Sunday, you will notice our windswept/dazed look and bloodshot eyes. We're trying to get to Mexico and we're driving up towards Michigan. (Maybe a compass would be appropriate.) :)

Mary Ellen and Lauren advised us to get a fiber back-up...or should I say that they advised to bring fiber for the back-up. :) You can tell I've just traveled hundreds of miles and haven't gotten anywhere, can't ya? It's no wonder???!!! If anyone else has any suggestions for our packing list...let us know. Chandra, Mark F., Jean, Mark R, Chad, Christi, Fred, Barb, Luanne and Roger...YOU WON'T FIT...so don't even start begging. I honestly wish I could take you all, but if it's any comfort to ya...remember...we don't take the short route!!! :)

The pictures of today were not worth downloading...except for this one! We could see this cross in the distance and kept driving towards it. We needed that focus.
