Almost there ….

I am happy to report that I have finished my work on Psalms 73-104. Now I am working on Psalm 105, which I may be able to complete over this weekend. If so, I will lack only Psalm 106 to be ready to send the manuscript for the second volume of my commentary to the editor.

Those who have followed my journey on this project know it has been off and on the back burner since 2018. This has never been because of a lack of interest on my part. I am intrigued by the Psalter, and I rejoice over every discovery I have made. It has truly been an experience of discovery. That’s why all three volumes of this work (yes, there will be a third and final volume covering Psalms 107-150) are titled The Messiah in the Psalms: Discovering Christ in Unexpected Places.

When the project has been on the back burner, it has been due largely to my involvement in other writing projects like my commentary on the Holy Spirit. This hardback book exceeds 300 pages and deals with nearly every reference to the Holy Spirit from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22.

I am so grateful for my wife Susan! She has supported and encouraged me throughout this experience, sharing my joy of discovery when I found never before seen insights.

Now, back to work!

Celebrating our first date!

Daniel and Susan Segraves

Our first date was on June 15, 2013. I invited Susan to a concert by the Ambassadors of Harmony, an a capella men’s chorus consisting of more than 100 members. Their harmonies are breathtaking.

I discovered the AOH on YouTube while still living in California. I had no idea the chorus was headquartered in Saint Charles, Missouri, next door to Saint Peters, where Susan and I now live. Nor did I know their concerts were performed at the Touhill Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Missouri in St. Louis.

Many members of UPCI churches in the St Louis metro area attend these concerts, and on our first date, several of our friends, seeing us together for the first time, quickly figured out what was going on!

The photo above shows us at our most recent visit to hear the AOH. We are standing before a Steinway piano. The reason we have such big smiles is that we are happy people on the verge of celebrating our eleventh year of marriage! God has blessed us richly. We are deeply grateful He brought us together, and I am so glad Susan said, “Yes!”
