I was driving to work today thinking about the environment (like you do). If only you could harness the power of nature somehow so that you could create clean energy. As I thought about it I realised that that is what has happened with nuclear power. Scientists have done that. Unfortunately the result is - a bomb - bad. I have read about all this radioactive waste stored underground in the U.S. and it worries me. Nuclear power is like a very gradual explosion, its not going to blow you apart straight away but it is only a matter of time before it does. One thing is certain we are all going to die sometime so maybe the best thing is to do the best with the life we've got.
Changing the subject, I had a tinnitus free day yesterday. It's back today, but yesterday was wonderful and I am grateful for it. Maybe it will go altogether; I have experienced a few noise free times recently (but never a complete day). Even if it doesn't, yesterday stands as a great day because of it. I have been praying of course and will continue to do so.

Revision to new song
This is kind of final version, I have taken advice and replaced some weak or cliched words.
In him we live, the Lord of all creation
Who spoke his life into our hearts of stone
Filled with the breath of his own Holy Spirit
Jesus our source, our saviour and our home
He is the light who scatters all our darkness
Dispelling doubt and vanquishing our fear
He’s our abundance, life is overflowing
In him we live and walk, our way made clear.
In him we move, whose hands restored the broken
Changing forever those who dared believe
Commanded storms to cease with his authority
We’re by his side; his courage we receive
And by his Spirit we defeat dark powers
The sick are healed, the good news we proclaim
Jesus is Lord! This is our shout of triumph
In him we move, his is the highest name.
In him we are, his nature our inheritance
Our strivings quelled, our anxious voices stilled
The God of peace enriching our identity
Creating calm, with Sabbath rest we’re filled
And on that day when we shall stand before him
Perfect and whole, transformed, secure and free
The shadows gone, the earthly grave behind us
In him to live and move and ever be.

New song
Wrote a hymn today, having been encouraged to get the creative juices flowing. Have not written the tune yet, at the moment it's "Danny Boy". Here it is
In him we live, the Lord of all creation
Who spoke his life into our hearts of stone
Filled with the breath of his dear Holy Spirit
Jesus our source, our saviour and our home
He is the light who scatters all our darkness
Dispelling doubt and vanquishing our fear
He’s our abundance, full to overflowing
In him we live and walk, our way made clear.
In him we move, whose hands restored the broken
Who raised the dead, spread hope throughout the land
Commanded storms to cease with his authority
We’re by his side; we’re walking hand in hand
And by his Spirit we defeat dark powers
The sick are healed, the good news we proclaim
Jesus is Lord! This is our shout of triumph
In him we move, his is the highest name.
In him we are, his nature our inheritance
Our strivings quelled, our anxious voices stilled
The God of peace moving in our identity
Creating calm, with Sabbath rest we’re filled
And on that day when we shall stand before him
Perfect and whole, complete, secure and free
The shadows gone, the earthly grave behind us
In him to live and move and ever be.
