Dear John,

Who doesn't love a good mystery? I know I do. What I didn't realize is that the Bible, specifically the Psalms, could whet my appetite for spiritual mystery. When I interviewed Maureen O'Brien about her new book, What Was Lost, I asked her about the mystery of the Psalms. The word Selah kept coming up. It is a word that is mentioned in the Psalms 70 times, but has no certain definition.

I am learning so much through reading What Was Lost. One of my favorite learning experiences is that we can all have our own interpretation of what Selah means in our own lives.

For me, Selah has come to mean slow down and give God everything. And, wow, when I practice Selah, my entire day is better, and, no matter what comes my way, I have God's love at the center, stabilizing me.

What is your Selah?

Peace & Goodness,
