“He causes the grass to grow for the cattle” Psalm 104:14 NKJV               There are many constants in this world.  Things that, just as the sun rises and sets each day, will occur with tremendous rhythm and regularity.  And one of those is the green grass growing.  And what beauty and elegance lies in the simplicity of grass.  Merely look upon the beauty of an endless rolling field, the grass gently swaying in a breeze that caresses it into a melodic and hypnotic dance.  O

“Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name ; and deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins, for Your name’s sake ! Psalm 79:9 NKJV (italics added)               The dead-heat photo finish, the tie, the draw.  Whether it be horse racing, soccer, or boxing respectively, they are all sports contests that can end with no clear winner found.  And how unsatisfactory that is.  Just the other day I was watching the Dallas Cowboys play and was excited to see the
