May Saturday greet you like a long lost friend and my you rekindle your relationship with some rest and relaxation. I salute Saturday with a large mug of Door County Dublin's Delight Coffee.

an ever-present help in trouble. There is never a time when God sleeps, He is always ready.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way. We have no reason to fear.
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, God knows when the Earth quakes.
3 though its waters roar and foam He sees the surge of rivers and oceans.
and the mountains quake with their surging.

God bless,
Marty
