Praise Twice: Prays Twice

Augustine’s sentiment that “the one who sings, prays twice” conveys that music is a spiritual language. This issue celebrates the vocabulary of praise and the songs of worship, especially as they are modeled for us in the psalms.

Praise and Providence
The Rev. John Indermark is a UCC writer and minister. In addition to his current curricula and book projects (Do Not Live Afraid will be published this fall by Upper Room Books), John is serving as transitional minister at Ocean Beach Presbyterian Church in Oregon. In “Praise and Providence” John uses Psalm 104 as a lens through which he glimpses the handiwork of God, first in fashioning life, and then providing for its sustenance.

Marian by Moonlight
Anna Crean (a pen name) is an aspiring writer currently pursuing her masters in Marriage and Family Therapy at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Married to a Presbyterian minister, Anna currently resides in Michigan with her husband, their three children and three boxers. “Marian by Moonlight” is a lovely reflection on an experience of loss in which the Spirit ministered through music.
