Thought for the  day:

Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
Psalm 8:1 &3-4

What we're listening to for inspiration:

How Majestic
