Can it really be that a person sitting in front of a computer screen is adding to the praise going up, "all breath" praising the Lord? (Ps 150). Does it matter if no one even reads it?
Does it really profit to keep asking these questions? To gaze into the hollow self and go around the usual laments? For a time, yes, because there is a path through it, the Lord's path. The Lord's path of lament, thanksgiving, and metanoia to praise. Speaking in shaky whisper I praise God!! If I try to speak aloud perhaps the breath of the Holy Spirit will carry that praise abroad, at the very least make God happy.
"Praise the LORD from the earth,
you sea-monsters and all deeps;
Fire and hail, snow and fog,
tempestuous wind, doing his will;...
Wild beasts and all cattle,
creeping things and winged birds," [Ps 148:7-10]
Dogs and cats, green grass and breezes,
Brown thrashers and grackles,
Grandmas and McGregors throwing
the baseball,
Stormy thunder and flood warnings
Raining out the game
All bloggers and poets,
Philosophers, prophets,
Whispering and Shouting,
Praise Ye the Lord!
Alleluia
