I realized a couple of weeks ago I had forgotten to let you know what Psalms we were reading for the last couple of months. I hope you have continued to read them on your own or on Facebook. The Psalms I will be sharing on Facebook for September are Psalms 96 – 108. If you are reading them on Facebook and a song or a thought you wish you could share comes to mind, please do it. Poems are meant to connect us with the writer, to connect us with his experience and emotions, to say to ourselves, “Sometimes I feel that way to” or “That has happened to me”.
I feel a comfort to know that others have felt the same way I do. God also has had similar experiences to us and He has the same emotions that we have. We know this because we are created in His Image. The challenging part is knowing God has what we may call negative emotions but does not sin. He perfectly handles his emotions.
God has also had the same basic experiences we have had because He came to earth as a human. He came to experience the human condition. And did not sin.
As you read the Psalms and experience life know that God is right beside you saying, “You and I can handle this together.” And “it is possible to make Godly choices in all circumstances”. Many of the Psalms are reflections after an experience that the writer vents about but he ends with praise and worship because he knows God is right beside him. He knows God is God and will take care of all things.
Just a reminder and invitation, if you haven’t become a part of a Bible Study or Small Group do so this month. We are not meant to walk the Christian life alone. We need each other.

From Amanda:
“For everyone at Havasu Christian Church you know this is a mission that’s near and dear to my heart. Right now we could really use washcloths, so if you see some on sale in bulk at the dollar store, please get some if you can! We can’t send soap anymore. Last year I wrapped a soap bar inside a washcloth and secured it with a hair tie to put as an item into the boxes, this year I’m doing a toothbrush, comb, and some little floss packs inside the washcloth instead! Please help if you can, the drop box is in the church’s foyer! ❤️🙏🏻”
Games are the item for the month, but we can still use hair ties to help make the bundles. We also need pencil sharpeners.
