Family and Sons
I wrote and recorded the next Psalm yesterday--Psalm 45. This one was a little more challenging than usual, because it is actually a royal wedding song--but I did it anyway, and it is what it is.
It might have been one time that I was better off not singing the whole Psalm, but something about that approach doesn't seem "purist" to me. Anyway, it's done.
Today I drive to Ottawa to pick up Seth. He's coming back from Saskatchewan. I feel a little concerned for him, and his state of mind. He cried a lot the last time he left grandpa behind, and this time Lori broke up with Brad, and there's a huge mess with Deb and Gerald. He's been in the middle of it all, and he tends to pick up outlying stress like that.
God be with him.
Lucas came over for a fire the two nights ago; he was actually quite a bit more mature than usual. He did go through a little bit of complaining about us as parents. He feels like he didn't have any choices growing up, and that religion was too forced on him -- or something like that. I think what he may feel is the Holy Spirit chasing him down. But nevertheless, I felt optimistic about his visit. He's growing up.
