Pastor Doug's Thought for Today March 17

March 17th, 2026
by Doug Walter

Good Morning,
Happy St. Patrick's Day, be sure and don your green. Busy day today, I have two funerals. I am always honored to be with families at such a vulnerable time. It is cold, but St. Joseph is back on a normal schedule today. The streets are great and much of the snow disappeared thanks to some sun, not that it was warm enough for melting. It still looks like 80 degree weather by Friday. My guess, the storms are coming. I hope you stay warm today and feel the warmth of God. Have a nice day!

Blessings, Doug

Today's Scripture

Psalm 23:1-3 (New International Version)

A psalm of David.
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.

Today's Thought

Interesting that today's passage comes from the 23rd Psalm. I will read this passage at both funerals today. These are words of assurance and they are not simply for end of life, they are words for everyday. Make the Lord your shepherd and you will lack for nothing for He is with you. Just a thought for today!
