That thy way may be known upon earth,
thy saving health among all nations.

While I work on an index for our series from the Psalms this year, it occurred to me that highlighting the Months for the series in the Archives might be helpful. The Archives are filed under MENU.
I am grateful for all the artists who add so much color and beauty to the posts. The idea for the series is simple: a short selection from each Psalm and a picture. There are some other posts as well.
