unless he has captured something

Photography is meant to capture a moment. Presumably, that moment is captured so that you can later recall that moment. Away from the loved ones this week, and it pains me not to be able to see them. So spent some of last night smiling at a folder full of digital pics.

Here's the spiritual jump. Ready for it? When we are away from the Lord, how come we don't spend time recalling moments with God?

People always say "Count your blessings" but I don't know whether they mean that sincerely or not. Because if it is sincere, it's very good advice. Every few days we should be mulling on how great God has been to us. Isn't that what the Psalms are really about for David? Written odes to moments in his life recalling the greatness of God?

For the past few years, have structured my reading schedule to include a Psalm every Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday, allowing me, like David to reflect every few days on who God is and what He has done. It's a wonder believers these days don't craft their own psalms, reminders of those moments in our lives, like photographs, captured for us to recall later.

Wait. Isn't this what this whole thing is about?
