I should be grading …

Or washing the dishes or sleeping.

Last week of classes. Three more classes for me, in fact. Yes, three more.

It's been two, possibly three, weeks since I've finished my Beth Moore Bible study. I am back in the adult Sunday school as my 12-week stint with the 4-5 year olds in temporarily over. We are studying the life of King David. Our teacher has encouraged us to work on memorizing scripture.

I am working on memorizing Psalm 34. I must say it's not going as well as I would like it, too. The Psalm was written by King David, known as a man after God's own heart.

Here it is, in case you want to memorize it with me. (From the NIV version.)

I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
My soul will boast in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice
Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.
I sought the Lord, and He answered me;
He delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to Him are radiant;
Their faces are never covered with shame.
The poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him,
and He delivers them.
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who take refuge in Him.
Fear the Lord, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.
The lions may grow weary and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
Come, my children, listen to me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry;
The face of the Lord is against those who do evilto cut off the memory of them from the earth.
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in the spirit.
A righteous man may have many troubles,
But the Lord delivers him from them all;
he protects all his bons, not one of them will be broken.
Evil will slay the wicked,
the foes of the righteous will be condemned,
The Lord redeems his servants;
No one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.
