Let me give you some good advice;
I’m looking you in the eye
and giving it to you straight:
I’m looking you in the eye
and giving it to you straight:
“Don’t be ornery like a horse or mule
that needs bit and bridle
to stay on track.”
Psalm 32:8-9 The Message
Joining with Deidra at Jumping Tandem

Well, there's no arguing those words. I love the way The Message version just tells it like it is.
Beautiful photo! Where did you take that?
Thanks, Deidra. This photo is Hyatt Lane, Cades Cove Loop Road, Great Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park, Tennessee…one of my favorite places in this country.
Thanks Mary–the message is interesting–and actually–we can't do it by ourselves–'staying on track'. I love the photo and thanks for telling us where you took this.
Mary, that is a beautiful shot…..I love the Message translation…..
I don't want to be, for sure.
Fondly,
Glenda
Love the verse. Kind of thought Smokey Mountians..by the photo. Love it there.
It's a good photo connected to the scripture. [I DO struggle a bit with Msg version, but you did it very well.]
wow, that is a wonderful picture, seems like it could go on for miles.
