I read this psalm, and starting singing a song I rememebr from my days in North Carolina. At the start up mission congregation my family and I were a part of there.

“we are called by your name; do not leave us.” God has called each of us by name. In our Baptismal service we heard the words Name, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. And then we heard the words “Name, child ofContinue reading “Called by name!”

What will you be when you grow up?
Did you ever wonder what you were going to be when you grow up? Some of us are probably still wondering what we will be when we grow up.
