Anyone have something to share?

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

  7. #1 Alabama @ #3 LSU

  8. Duke @ Miami

  9. Pillow Fight: UTEP @ Rice

10. Tie Breaker: Pick winner and final score: Holy Cross @ Lafayette

It’s Friday, so please remember to pray for Mumsee, Mike, and the Nestlings.

Anyone else?

Psalm 87

1 He has founded his city on the holy mountain.
2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion
    more than all the other dwellings of Jacob.

3 Glorious things are said of you,
    city of God:
4 “I will record Rahab and Babylon
    among those who acknowledge me—
   Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush—
    and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”
5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said,
    “This one and that one were born in her,
    and the Most High himself will establish her.”
6 The Lord will write in the register of the peoples:
    “This one was born in Zion.”

7 As they make music they will sing,
    “All my fountains are in you.”

Anyone else?

Psalm 86

1 Hear me, Lord, and answer me,
    for I am poor and needy.
2 Guard my life, for I am faithful to you;
    save your servant who trusts in you.
   You are my God;  3 have mercy on me, Lord,
    for I call to you all day long.
4 Bring joy to your servant, Lord,
    for I put my trust in you.

5 You, Lord, are forgiving and good,
    abounding in love to all who call to you.
6 Hear my prayer, Lord;
    listen to my cry for mercy.
7 When I am in distress, I call to you,
    because you answer me.

8 Among the gods there is none like you, Lord;
    no deeds can compare with yours.
9 All the nations you have made
    will come and worship before you, Lord;
    they will bring glory to your name.
10 For you are great and do marvelous deeds;
    you alone are God.

11 Teach me your way, Lord,
    that I may rely on your faithfulness;
   give me an undivided heart,
    that I may fear your name.
12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
    I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your love toward me;
    you have delivered me from the depths,
    from the realm of the dead.

14 Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God;
    ruthless people are trying to kill me—
    they have no regard for you.
15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
    slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
16 Turn to me and have mercy on me;
    show your strength in behalf of your servant;
   save me, because I serve you
    just as my mother did.
17 Give me a sign of your goodness,
    that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
    for you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
