Not the British rock band, but that sad, melancholy sensation we all experience at different times, at different levels, and for a variety of reasons. Although the roller coaster ride of depression is less prevalent, I’ve felt down in the dumps as of late, but being at work seems to lessen those blahs, which is why I’m not particularly looking forward to being off for Spring break this coming week.
Before leaving for work one morning, read the daily devotional from Power for Today that reminded me of some simple truths that had slipped my mind. In Psalm 143: 8 we read: “Lord, show me your true love this morning. I trust you. Show me the things I should do. I put my life in your hands!” (English Version for the Deaf) Kerry Williams from Florence, Alabama, penned: “He assures us that He knows what is best in our lives and that we can trust Him to carry us. The only question is whether or not we will let go of the wheel, trust Him, and allow Him to take us there.”
Although still feeling somewhat blue, those words have kept my emotions from becoming too overwhelming. Maybe they can help you as well.

Those are good words ... especially considering "from whence" they came. Typically things from that area of the south (I grew up, in part, in Florence, AL ... went to high school there, married a girl from there, and preached in churches there) are not as profound!!
