Epiphany
Wednesday, 6 January 2010
One of my all time favorites: Psalm 100
1Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come into his presence with singing.
3Know that the Lord is God.
It is he that made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, bless his name.
5For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures for ever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.
What a psalm to let it all hang out! Joy! Fun! Music! Soaring praise! Well, perhaps coming closer to earth we might crank up this psalm when the updates install without hanging, when the spam filter actually works. Yes. Life is good. Wireless connection is flowing nicely through the ether. Yes. Give thanks. Give thanks.
It’s amazing the number of things that transpire every nanosecond for which we ought to be giving thanks. It’s a product of being a citizen in the most technologically advanced country in the world – last time I checked. Our technology works. Our daily, mundane technology works. On this Epiphany I give thanks for the light that comes on when I flip the switch. And I’m grateful for the light that has come to expel the darkness.
We could join the psalmist in add some shouts of joy to our repertoire whenever we turn that “on” button on the ol’ laptop. The thing actually “fires up” and is “ready to go”, to echo a familiar phrase.
So let me just say on this Epiphany that I’m thankful for being Sistertech. I’m grateful for having a mind that can soak up this tech stuff, mess around with it and have fun doing it.
