Here There and Everywhere

Expat wanderer

Internet? Anomaly?

This morning, my stats dropped from their normal count to one or two per hour; the exact time is visible.

Not normal. Very strange.

I don’t look for large numbers, and occasionally I am astonished at what will take off. A change like this gets my attention.

Scorn of the Indolent Rich, Derision of the Proud

From today’s Lectionary Readings:

123 Ad te levavi oculos meos

1 To you I lift up my eyes, *
to you enthroned in the heavens.

2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, *
and the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,

3 So our eyes look to the Lord our God, *
until he show us his mercy.

4 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy, *
for we have had more than enough of contempt,

5 Too much of the scorn of the indolent rich, *
and of the derision of the proud.
