A dear friend in college said that you should always keep a Psalter by your bed, and I agree whole heartedly. Nothing brings more peace of mind & soul than reading the poetry of the bible. I don't know that I have an absolute favorite, but for now, any one of the Psalms that Dr. Richard Nance has arranged just bring me to a happy place - maybe it's because we sang so many of them, maybe it's because the memories that go with where we were when he arranged them, maybe it's just the very words combined to such heavenly sweet sounds...
