Psalms

Well I finally barreled down and read through what I had left of the book of Psalms today. At first I wasn't sure what to think of the book. The I realized that part of a catholic mass is reading Psalms every service. Then I started to see them more and more where I hadn't realized before. Before I made this connection I had wondered how they came up with a new set of items to read every week. It never occurred to me that what was being read that week was from the Bible. Now I pay more attention to what is being said. I also now pay more attention to the other reading and what the preacher reads from the main homily. I never did like following along in the sermon guides, I preferred to try and listen the best I could to the speakers when they were up at the podium. I did recognize some of the more famous of the verses, but not very many. I also eventually realized why so many of them were set to music. I kept scratching my head at that at first.
