The Shepherd's Psalm

This is a paraphrase of the Shepherd's Psalm (Psalm 23) that I wrote back in November 2009 for a school assignment. I hope you enjoy!


God is just so awesome and sufficient that I don’t need to ask for more!

When I’m tired, He gives me rest;

When I’m hungry or thirsty, He gives me just what I need.

He puts His robe of righteousness on me so that I can obey Him.

Even when things are bad enough for me to lose my life,

I don’t need to be afraid because God is always with me

And His promise of salvation is right next to me.

God is so awesome that the people who hate me can watch me eat, but not harm me;

He shows honor to me and supplies me with all my needs right in front of them!

I am certain that God will keep loving me, forgiving me, and blessing me, even until I die;

And I know that God has given me a place in His eternal kingdom, where I will dwell with Him.

Amen!

"As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out My sheep , and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day." (Ezekiel 34:12) And as my favorite Scripture says, "I have called you by your name; you are Mine " (Isaiah 43:1). The Cloudy and Dark Day It i

Remember the Titans: Remember the Leaders

     In life, there is a need for leaders—persons who will take up responsibility and be the trendsetters that others can follow. As Reed Markham, PhD, stated, “ Successful leaders see the opportunity in every difficulty rather than the difficulty in every opportunity”. “Remember the Titans” is an inspiring movie that teaches the truth about leadership and positive influence.      Among the many examples of leadership portrayed in this movie is Gerry Bertier, captain of the TC Williams football team. Gerry showed qualities of leadership by taking charge and following through with his responsibility. One of the ways he did this was by dropping Ray, his best friend, from the team due to the fact that Ray was not playing defensively on behalf of his Negro teammates, which resulted in the injury of one of them. Even though this decision threatened his friendship with Ray, Gerry still fulfilled his responsibility. Another quality of leadership Gerry shows is open-mindedness; he connected to
