With this post, Howard Morrison concludes his Reflections on the Psalms. Rumor has it he's now working his way through the prophet Isaiah.

It's OK to have questions. Both Mary and Joseph asked the angel of the Lord “How can this be?” That’s different from interrogating the Almighty, which calls into question God's character and motive. "I don't understand" is not the same as "I won't believe." Howard Morrison on Psalm 145.

In this time of rapid change it doesn’t take long browsing the news to see sorrow, discontent and rage poured out on the streets of the world's villages, towns and cities.

Howard Morrison asks, "Do I really love the Word more than money? Oh yes, I’d like to say it is more important, but that’s easy to say when the money is there." But what about when the money isn't there...?

There was a time when humankind was genuinely at rest…in perfect harmony with God and each other and the world. Can we get back there?

Humans tend to THINK we can do whatever we please, but in the meantime, our great contribution to this idea of religion is to make idols. Howard Morrison looks around to see how that's working out.

Reflecting on Psalm 90, Howard Morrison writes: "Moses felt just like I do. I want my work to count. The idea in the original language is to give some permanence to our work. Confirm it; establish it; give it some permanence." Doesn't want that?
