1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights!
2 Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his hosts!
3 Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Praise him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord!
For he commanded and they were created.

Preschool Update
We have a pair of birds that have built their nest in the preschool yard. We think they are Black Phoebes. There are now five eggs in the nest and the parents spend much of the day fluttering around the preschool yard keeping them safe. The children are thrilled of course and full of anticipation. I will keep you posted.
