feels good to eat in the morning. psalms declare that the Lord gives sleep to those He loves. yay!

I call on the LORD in my distress,
and he answers me. psalm 120:1

yes! forever and ever and ever! amen!

time to die... to myself.

And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. Genesis 28: 15

1 cor: 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

quaternary rhythm.

7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

quaternary rhythm again. key word seems to be "always".

1 Corinthians 10: 12So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!

yes. the sidewalks are slippery these days.

13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

word up. hallelujah!

a bad position to be in: competing with God in someone else's life.

23"Everything is permissible"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"--but not everything is constructive. 24Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.

and some things are more beneficial/constructive than others.
ah, the beauty of choice. ah, the follies of self-centeredness.
