Fortieth
Psalm
1: I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my
cry.
2: He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set
my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
3: He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many
will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD.
4: Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not turn
to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods!
5: Thou hast multiplied, O LORD my God, thy wondrous deeds and thy
thoughts toward us; none can compare with thee! Were I to proclaim
and tell of them, they would be more than can be
numbered.
6: Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire; but thou hast given
me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering thou hast not required.
7: Then I said, "Lo, I come; in the roll of the book it is written
of me;
8: I delight to do thy will, O my God; thy law is within my heart."
9: I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation;
lo, I have not restrained my lips, as thou knowest, O LORD.
10: I have not hid thy saving help within my heart, I have spoken
of thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy steadfast
love and thy faithfulness from the great congregation.
11: Do not thou, O LORD, withhold thy mercy from me, let thy steadfast
love and thy faithfulness ever preserve me!
12: For evils have encompassed me without number; my iniquities have
overtaken me, till I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my
head; my heart fails me.
13: Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help
me!
14: Let them be put to shame and confusion altogether who seek to
snatch away my life; let them be turned back and brought to dishonor
who desire my hurt!
15: Let them be appalled because of their shame who say to me, "Aha,
Aha!"
16: But may all who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; may those
who love thy salvation say continually, "Great is the LORD!"
17: As for me, I am poor and needy; but the Lord takes thought for
me. Thou art my help and my deliverer; do not tarry, O my God!

Element in the Periodic Table
zirconium
Pronounced As: zrkonm , metallic chemical element; symbol Zr; at. no.
40; at. wt. 91.22; m.p. about
1,852°C; b.p. 4,377°C; sp. gr. 6.5 at 20°C; valence
+2, +3, or +4.
Zirconium is a very strong, malleable, ductile, lustroussilver-gray
metal. At ordinary temperatures it has a hexagonal close-packed crystalline
structure. Its chemical and physical properties are similar to those
of titanium, the element above it in group IVb of the periodic table.
Zirconium is extremely resistant to heat and corrosion. It forms a number
of compounds, among them zirconate (ZrO3−2) and zirconyl (ZrO+2)
salts.
The
most important compound is the oxide zirconia (ZrO2), used extensively
as a refractory material in
furnaces and crucibles, in ceramic glazes, and, formerly, in gas mantles.
It occurs in nature as the silicate (ZrSiO4) and is used as a gemstone;
it may be clear or colored, and is usually called zircon or
hyacinth. Zirconium compounds also have minor uses as catalysts, in
the dye, textile, plastics, and paint industries, and in pharmaceuticals
such as poison ivy lotions.
Bad 40th Wedding Anniversary Joke
John asks his wife, Mary, what she wants to celebrate their 40th wedding
anniversary.
"Would you like a new Mink Coat?" he asks.
"Not really," says Mary.
"Well how about a new Mercedes sports car?" says John.
"No," she responds.
"What about a new vacation home in the country?" he suggests.
She again rejects his offer with a, "No thanks."
"Well what would you like for your anniversary?" John asks.
"John, I'd like a divorce," answers Mary.
"Sorry, I wasn't planning to spend that much," says John.
Forty
Days of Lent
Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the desert where he fasted and
prayed for 40 days. Moses led a people through the waters (think "Baptism")
of the Red Sea into a desert (a place with no water) for 40 years (Lent
lasts 40 days) where their identity was formed as a people (our journey
during this Lent should form us into a baptized people).
