2 Chronicles 25-26, Psalms 86-87

Turn to me and have mercy on me;
show your strength in behalf of your servant;
save me, because I serve you
just as my mother did. (Psalm 86:16)

Like David, I had a mother who served God. I am sure her example has influenced me in the past, now influences, and will influence me in the future, and I am equally convinced hers was, is, and will be a positive, godly, and loving influence.

Thanks, Mom...
