The 18th Day of the Omer

Today is the 18th day of the Omer.  This morning started off cool and drizzly, but by late morning the rain disappeared.  Chad and I went out for lunch at a Chinese restaurant today.  Afterwards, we took a short driving tour of Aurora, Missouri, which is about 30-45 minutes away from Springfield.  On the way back to Springfield, we stopped off at a Christian coffee house and we each got a mocha.   Tomorrow it's supposed to be rainy with lots of thunder.  I love rainy days and can't wait.  What fun- counting the omer while jumping in some rain puddles!

Psalm 119: 137-144 (KJV)

Tsadhe.

Righteous art thou, O Lord, and upright are thy judgments.

Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.

Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.

The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
