The Terror in the Hallway

Diane Reid

The Terror in the Hallway  The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.  He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,    he refreshes my soul.

Even though I walk     through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil,     for you are with me; your rod and your staff,     they comfort me.

Be Here Now!

Diane Reid

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.  Matthew 6:34 I had a dream the other night.  In this dream I was going somewhere and it seemed to be a long way away.  I was tired and had been walking a long time and for whatever reason, I was carrying a heavy backpack. Seemed heavy enough to be filled with rocks but I don’t know what was in it because I never stopped to look.  In the dream, I felt a sense of urgency.  Stopping to look in the … Continue reading Be Here Now!
