Psalm 69 - Answer Me, Oh Lord

Psalms 98 - Laughter

One of my favorite sounds is the laughter of my family members. Each one has their own specific ‘style’ J. From the iconic “Mule Mating Call” of Amy to the “Soundless Almost Knee Slap” of Joy, their laughter is most often more humorous than the current event taking place or joke said. Now, this isn’t to make fun of them. I myself sound like Elmo… people tell me that quite often J I find that my laughter changes somewhat depending on who I’m around and what their laughter sounds like. I guess this would be good evidence to the fact that it’s something I really pay attention to.

So, why laughter you ask? It’s the symbol of joy! Even in the most painful of times, laughter truly does work like medicine for the soul. It’s a great gift God gave to us and just like the uniqueness of our personalities; we all have a unique laugh.

I wonder what God’s laughter sounds like… ?

Psalm 6

"I drench my couch with my weeping." 

Psalms 31 - Without You

1st Psalm project of SBS 2013! 

I hope you all enjoy this tremendously, I know I did! 

This is a poem I wrote, read by my friend, Ascala Byfield and filmed/edited by my friend, Kyle Leach.

Without You

In You I have my hope and my being. Without You, I am lost.

In You is the light of my salvation. Without You, I am lost.

In You have my joy. Without You, I am lost.

In You I have my righteousness. Without You, I am lost

In You I have my peace. Without You, I am lost.

In You I have my father. Without You, I am lost.

In You I have my mother. Without You, I am lost.

In You I have my love. Without You, I am lost.

In You I have my music. Without You, I am lost.

In You I have my identity. Without You, I am lost.

In You I have my everything. Without You, I am lost.

Without You, I am lost.

Project Overview

What's Happening?

Over the span of the next 7 1/2 months, the SBS will be studying the book of Psalms interspersed throughout the rest of the books. We will usually be given 6 chapters each week that must be read 5 times and color coding them is optional. By 12pm on Saturday, every week, a creative work is due for one of these 6 chapters. It can be a video with the Psalm acted out, a creative reading upon memorization, art work, a song, a dried flower... You get the point. 

In order to keep you, my lovely and greatly appreciated supporters, updated even more, I'll be posting these works on this blog! Whether it be a picture, song or poem, you'll know about my own creative interpretation of the Psalms. 

If I post the list of Psalms for each week, maybe I'll even get you to give me suggestions! How crazy would that be eh? 

I hope you all have a wonderful day/night :)
