The Psalms are just about my favorite part of the Bible. I love David’s whinings to God in his writings here. Granted, he had a lot to whine about, but nothing was off-limits between him and the Lord. So I’ve decided to try my hand at a Psalm of Varner:

I bitched unto the Lord and He heard me in my bitchiness. He listened patiently as I groaned and complained on and on about all my troubles and the injustices in my life. And He didn’t once say, “Oh come on Varner Jo! Shape up! Get a grip! You’re over-reacting! Think of all you have to be thankful for.”

Instead the Lord said unto me, “Go and eat a cookie and take a couple of Tylenol. Lie down for a nap!” And while I rested He watched over me and I felt all nice and cozy snuggled in His love.

He refreshed my body and renewed my mind and sweetened my disposition. And when I awoke, life was good again! For this I praise God! (And so does my family!)
