If nothing else sticks with you today, make this our call to shake off the dirt and keep moving forward and upward.  IF we can all to that, we will find God's blessing in our lives.

And that is why I am reminded we must always be about praising the Lord.

Now you may say, sure Tom, that's what we do every Sunday.  Yes, I agree, that is so, but I also have to say after all the stress and heart ache of the past few weeks, I felt a call on my heart to remind us again today.  We are called to praise the Lord in ALL circumstances.
