THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT……The world is a dangerous place, but more dangerous is the world in our heads. Everyone lives in the dangerous world but we don't always process the bad things that happen in healthy ways in our minds. We interprete some things that happen to us as indication that we are not good…..WHAT EVER ELSE, WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THE PSALMIST WHO REALIZED THAT BENEVOLENT AND LOVING GOD WAS ALWAYS WITH HIM, EVEN SEEKING HIM OUT WHEN HE GOT LOST IN BAD THOUGHTS AND NEGATIVE FEELINGS ABOUT HIMSELF AND OTHERS,  AND LIFTING HIM UP, HEALING, RESTORING HIM……OUR CONTEXT IS THE WORLD BUT OUR REAL LIVING IS IN OUR HEADS AND HEARTS. I DID NOT GROW UP IN A PERFECT FAMILY AND I SURE HAVE NOT BEEN A PERFECT PARENT BUT THERE WAS PLANTED IN  MY MIND AND HEART THE GOOD NEWS GOD GIVES IN CHRIST. IT IS THIS REALITY THAT RENEWS THE SPIRIT IN ME AND BRINGS ABOUT THE CLEANING UP OF MY THOUGHTS ON A REGULAR BASIS. YEP, I AM OK AND YOU ARE OK BECAUSE HOLY SPIRIT NEVER STOPS CLEANING HOUSE IN YOUR AND MY MIND AND HEART.
