More DescriptionSing A New Psalm is a book of daily inspiration that provides insight into the spiritual journey of one man one day at a time. It includes poems, written in the early morning hours, over more than a decade of time. It provides one poem each day of each month to help the reader cope; much like the Psalms of old. Originally put together in a loose leaf binder in the late 1990's, and given to some friends and family, it has been updated to include new material as the spiritual maturity process has continued; and Poteet's relationship with our Heavenly Father has deepened and his life filled with Love.Tom Poteet has been reading the Psalms for decades. The Psalms, themselves, have been in existence for millennia. The Biblical Psalms provide hope; but they are also filled with desperation, fear and trepidation. They are full of praise, anxiety, requests for answers, and awe and wonder. They cover the gamut of human emotions. That's why they are read over and over again; and why they mean different things to us at different stages of our lives.Poteet realized, after years of his morning meditation and writing, that his poems followed similar themes as the Psalms. His moods were both high and low, depending on the events of the day. His life was in a state of flux. His parents were starting their decline in health; his children were getting older, claiming their independence and moving out of the nest. He was beginning to sense his irrelevance at work and his need to follow another path; though he knew not how or where.The reader is invited to move along, day by day, and witness the desperation, hope, awe and wonder of a poet, in love with his Heavenly Father and his earthly family; and searching for answers.
