Psalm 127

This Psalm hit me right between the eyes right out of the gate.  "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain."  It goes on and develops the idea through the next 3 verses, but that was enough for me.  The concept absolutely repudiates the whole performance based approval idea.  I can "try" to the limits of my strength but God is the only one that can establish or create a worthwhile result.  It's not that I don't have responsibility to work and to watch and to rise up early, but the results do not depend on me.  What a relief.

Reflections on yesterday

My intention is to start going back the next morning to reflect on the previous day and to report on any dreams I can remember.  The pattern I would like to establish is to write and publish my scripture based meditation in the evening and then exercise and update this section of the post with more general thoughts of the day.  This reflection is in regard to Friday.  It was the culmination of a very successful week at work, it particular in regard to my helpfulness to customers that were in trouble.  Much more than normal for me, I stepped up and made the phone calls in response to emails that were sent out to my group.  My supervisor was complimentary and appreciative.

That experience probably contributed to a dream that is a faint shadow in my memory.  In my dream, I was a heroic figure, solving difficult problems in creative ways.  There seem to have been a large number of complicated situations in my dream and a large number of characters.  I do recall a feeling of satisfaction in my accomplishments.
