Psalm 33:6-19

New King James Version (NKJV)

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;[a]
He lays up the deep in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.

10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.

13 The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He fashions their hearts individually;
He considers all their works.

16 No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.

18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death,
And to keep them alive in famine.

Seals and Crofts – Diamond Girl

I have a vinyl copy but I wore it out and quit listening to it twenty years ago, but found this on You Tube and listened through.  This album makes me feel about every positive human emotion there is and very little negative.

Nightmares

Almost two years after being released, I still have nightmares of prison and also nightmares regarding my daughter.

Last night, I dreamt that she came to talk to me but I have a no contact and so told her I couldn’t but that was enough that I was in prison again.

Then the dream kind of morphed and I was no longer aware how I got there or how long I would be there.  Then I realized I was dreaming and woke-up but I wasn’t really awake, I just dreamt I woke up.

I was hoping these would fade after I was out for a while but it appears not.

I’m afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I’m a… fraid.

If I don’t go to sleep, I’m okay.

Product Seals

Am I the only one that would rather risk dying from poisoned aspirin than die from a stroke resulting from the sheer frustration of having to deal with these impossible to open seals they’re putting on just about every product out there today?
