In Ashley’s Harvest Moon Café on a Wednesday morn, it happens to be St. Patrick’s Day, 2021. Drip coffee, refillable for free, and a coconut chocolate chip muffin warmed just right, starts my time of labor here instead of at home. I don’t thrive being alone.

I observe. People watching, one of my favorite pastimes, has desperately been denied. A plethora of people right before my eyes!

There’s a man with a cap that speaks of a sailor past; his silver crown hides his story. In the soft chair he reads for a few hours and leaves; I’ve not seen a soul speak with him.

Psalm 34:3 invites us to Magnify the Lord together. 

Put God first. Lift up your eyes towards heaven (Psalm 121:1-8). Praise the Lord all the day! I've learned something new. This is how we fight; we do NOT engage the enemy; we PRAISE THE LORD! James 4:7

We have two examples to follow: in 2 Chronicles 15:1-19 with Asa and in 2 Chronicles 20:1-33 with Jehoshaphat. However, let's make sure we DO take down the high places (idolatrous altars) this time.
