The Granite Ball by Tommia Wright

This granite ball weighs 5,000 pounds. With the slightest pressure of a hand, the direction of the rotation can change. Something small with the power of changing something so large…

What seemingly small thing can you do that just may have a large impact on someone else?

Sunday Psalm – Psalm 8

From the Trail by Tommia Wright

Lord, our Lord,     how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory     in the heavens. ² Through the praise of children and infants     you have established a stronghold against your enemies,     to silence the foe and the avenger. ³ When I consider your heavens,     the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars,     which you have set in place, ⁴ what is mankind that you are mindful of them,     human beings that you care for them?^[c]

⁵ You have made them^[d] a little lower than the angels^[e]     and crowned them^[f] with glory and honor. ⁶ You made them rulers over the works of your hands;     you put everything under their^[g] feet: ⁷ all flocks and herds,     and the animals of the wild, ⁸ the birds in the sky,     and the fish in the sea,     all that swim the paths of the seas.

⁹ Lord, our Lord,     how majestic is your name in all the earth!
