You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” - [Psalm 23:4-6]( ESV As a child, I remember the overwhelming sense of watching light be exchanged for darkness, driving through a tunnel that seemed endless.
