Verse of SUMMER 2011... Psalm 29:11 (NLT)
"The LORD gives his people strength.
The LORD blesses them with peace."
My job is hard in the summer. This verse was pointed out to me by a friend during a prayer time, and I regret to say it, but I let it go and didn't follow up. Then God pointed me to it again in my morning bible reading time. I have been claiming it ever since, and as I pray to be one of "His people" and ask him to give me strength and bless me with peace, He has been providing both. I plan to keep this verse through the end of the Summer Library Program.

Jeremiah 17:7-8
"...Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."

'You shall not commit adultery,'
'You shall not murder,'
