Joan Walsh Anglund
I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord forever. Psalm 89:1
"A bird doesn't sing because he has an answer; he sings because he has a song." Joan Walsh Anglund Some Mondays are more Monday than others, and this is just the quote I need for this day.

Even when it seems like there are no answers and I'm singing in a thorn tree...Would you care to join me? I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord forever. Psalm 89:1 HumminB
