A couple of weeks ago during worship we sang, "I Lay Me Down" by Darrell Evans.  A beautiful song that we have sung and I have heard several times before.  This particular Sunday one of the lines of the song really resonated with me. Freedom is now the song of my heart. I use the word "resonate" to help convey my feelings at the time I heard this line. It more than caught my attention, it filled me! I love that the word resonate also has an electrical meaning because when I heard these words and they filled me, I felt a jolt, every nerve was tingling.  The Lord is so good and kind and loving with His revelations! Those times when I really "get it" when I allow His truth to sink into, fill me up, the experience is breathtaking, electrical! This Sunday was one of those times... 

 
 
I remember the first time that Anthony came home with homework.  It was in 1st grade and he was so excited! He could not wait to sit at the desk, sharpen his pencil, get his notebook, turn on the desk lamp and get to work. I am grinning as I am writing this, remembering his excitement, his eagerness, the way he prepared and got ready.  He couldn't wait to do his homework! My how times have changed.  Now as a junior in High School, he dreads homework, waits to the very last moment to do it, and would prefer to act like it doesn't even exist.
