Working on Psalms

Interesting reading here. There are 150 psalms. That's right 150. Not quite like chapters, it's like hymns in the hymnal, but psalms in the psalter.

I have also discovered the word "selah." Which is Hebrew to tell the reader to pause or as Wikipedia says:
The Amplified Bible states Selah as "pause, and think of that".

I have continued to request reading assignments from readthescriptures.com Tonight's thoughts & quotes are:
"Commandments and covenants of God are like navigational instructions from celestial heights and will lead us safely to our eternal destination. It is one of beauty and glory beyond understanding. It is worth the effort. It is worth making decisive corrections now and then staying on course."
--Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "A Matter of a Few Degrees", Ensign, May 2008, 57–60
I really like this one from President Monson.
"Learn from the past, prepare for the future, live in the present."
--President Thomas S. Monson, Ensign, May 2003, 22
 I have a busy day tomorrow. Six more pages of a 15 page paper & DUP, Daughters of Utah Pioneers.
