Janice, as a Catholic, I've always loved the psalms. Growing up my aunt gave me a little board book of them. She would occasionally read and explain them to me. What a nice way to describe them, "Poetry for the soul" She would have loved that.

Well done with the 'P,' Janice. And so creative to use a 'silent P' -- whereas the Psalms speak to our hearts' highest aspirations. Beautifully penned, Gershon
