SOUL




My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness:
and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: when I
remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in
the night watches.
Psalms 63:5

If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house
of the Lord at Jerusalem, then shall the heart
of this people turn again unto their Lord...

Thank you, God, for the journey of return and for being our sacred home.

MIND




This second epistle, beloved, I now write
unto you; in both which I stir up your pure
minds by way of remembrance...
