Anyone have something to share?

Psalm 90

1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place
    throughout all generations.
2 Before the mountains were born
    or you brought forth the whole world,
    from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

3 You turn people back to dust,
    saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”
4 A thousand years in your sight
    are like a day that has just gone by,
    or like a watch in the night.
5 Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death—
    they are like the new grass of the morning:
6 In the morning it springs up new,
    but by evening it is dry and withered.

7 We are consumed by your anger
    and terrified by your indignation.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
    our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 All our days pass away under your wrath;
    we finish our years with a moan.
10 Our days may come to seventy years,
    or eighty, if our strength endures;
   yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
    for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
11 If only we knew the power of your anger!
    Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.
12 Teach us to number our days,
    that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

13 Relent, Lord! How long will it be?
    Have compassion on your servants.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
    that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
    for as many years as we have seen trouble.
16 May your deeds be shown to your servants,
    your splendor to their children.

17 May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us;
    establish the work of our hands for us—
    yes, establish the work of our hands.

Psalm 89:1-8

1 I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever;
    with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known
    through all generations.
2 I will declare that your love stands firm forever,
    that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.
3 You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
    I have sworn to David my servant,
4 ‘I will establish your line forever
    and make your throne firm through all generations.’”

5 The heavens praise your wonders, Lord,
    your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones.
6 For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord?
    Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings?
7 In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared;
    he is more awesome than all who surround him.
8 Who is like you, Lord God Almighty?
    You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

Peter’s Pack of Pickled Pigskin Picks 2018 Week 10

​Week 10 is upon is. Ten games. No one has won that many yet, especially here. And this week is going to be tougher. Think of it as an exam in a hard class. AJ set the tone by picking a tie breaker of two teams from the FCS (that’s D1-AA, the smaller colleges). Also, most of the games are between Top 25 ranked schools playing against other Top 25 schools in their conferences, including the #1 team going on the road to #3. So a lot is on the line this week. Oh, and I threw in a couple of “favorites” for AJ, along with the Pillow Fight.

Have fun, folks. And don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour Saturday night so you’re not an hour early to church on Sunday. Just get your picks in by NOON EDT Saturday.

  1. #20 Texas A&M @ Auburn

  2. #24 Iowa State @ Kansas

  3. Air Force @ Army

  4. #6 Georgia @ #9 Kentucky

  5. #13 West Virginia @ #17 Texas

  6. #14 Penn State @ #5 Michigan
