Oso Disaster

As we consider the households who have been impacted

by this tragedy in our home state, as well as the people

who are risking themselves in service to those very same

households and their families, may we find comfort and

guidance through the poetry of the Psalms,

particularly Psalm 46:

God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in

 trouble. 
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth

should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart

of the sea; 
though its waters roar and foam,

though the mountains tremble with its tumult.

God is in the midst of the city; it shall not be moved;

God will help it when the morning dawns. 

The LORD of hosts is with us;
 the God of Jacob is our refuge.
