Sabbath, and a reflection of Respect

Its the Sabbath, and a drive home. A chance to listen to Prairie Home Companion, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir live at 11:30 and a time to reflect on yesterday.

I wasn't planning on being directly involved in presentation of the Chevalier and Legion of Honor, and was rightfully proud to be made a part of the ceremony. I was able to place the Cords on the new Chevalier and Legion of Honor recipients. It meant a great deal for me to do that, and they expressed gratitude for having me be the one to present.

Today I would like to share something from the good book, which was shared with me yesterday at Demolay:

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
