A Modern-Day Psalms 23

Posted by admin on Jun 6, 2010 in Blog, Just Bloggin' | 0 comments

I have been in Birmingham for a funeral this week. Of course, like clockwork, at the graveside service, the pastor read the 23 Psalm. David was actually going though one of his “funks” when he wrote this… My pastor read this “Modern-day Psalms 23″ today at church… I thought it was very good so I wanted to share it with you:

My appetite is my shepherd; I always want.

It maketh me sit down and stuff myself.

It leadeth me to my refrigerator repeatedly.

It leadeth me in the path of Burger King for a Whopper.

It destroyeth my shape.

Yea, though I knoweth I gaineth, I will not stop eating

For the food tasteth so good.

The ice cream and the cookies, they comfort me.

When the table is spread before me, it exciteth me

For I knoweth that I sooneth shall dig in.

As I filleth my plate continuously,

My clothes runneth smaller.

Surely bulges and pudgies shall follow me all the days of my life

And I shall be “pleasingly plump”

forever.

-from “A Shepherd Looks at Psalms 23″ by Phillip Keller
