#150: Psalm 150 & Blaise Pascal

I can't think of anything better to put here at the 150th post on this site than the last Psalm in the Book of Psalms, #150:1-6,
"Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse.
Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and dancing; Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe. Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!"

The other thing I wanted to post was Blaise Pascal's comments I read this morning in Thoughts for the Quiet Hour, edited by D.L. Moody. The verse is Colossians 3:17, "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father." Pascal then comments, "Do little things as if they were great, because of the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ, who dwells in thee; and do great things as if they were little and easy, because of His omnipotence."

Now that I think about it, I'm gonna post this to my Facebook "Favorite Quotes!" and finish up cleaning leaves out of the outside stairs of the Big House.

Got Amazing Grace on bagpipes again?
