Welcome and enjoy.

Since I am a person of the BOOK,

I am content to allow this quotation from the Psalms

to provide a context for my musings:

The LORD builds up Jerusalem;

he gathers the exiles of Israel.

He heals the brokenhearted

and calls them each by name.

Great is the LORD and mighty in power;

his understanding has no limit.

Psalm 147: 2-5
