cry of exodus

About Me

we are a nomadic community of psalmists. Currently 8 people, 2 dogs, 1 robot, 2 ships. More than 100 psalters from 12 countries have been involved over the years. We are on the road after our First Love, the refugee King....for whom we pledge our only allegiance. It’s not only us...we’re just the banner wavers of a little army out here just beyond your city walls. You can come along if you’re a miserable wretch....but unfortunately there is not enough room for the generally good people. Don’t fret. You wouldn’t like this road....it’s dirty (and greasy). I must tell you this much however.........i can’t see much of anything behind those gates of yours and there is not much of a breeze to feel....out here it hurts....outside the gates .........but i can feel and i can see ... a little better.outside there is a Pillar of Fire
