¹Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
You all may remember:
It’s a real trauma facing the real world.
I have known guys who went to college and through grad school because academia is a secure womb. You don’t have to make the tough decision.
I always advise going to college if possible, but a little real world experience does a lot to prepare for advanced education.
DO NOT go directly into graduate study without real world first.
Emily has a job interview at a nursing home this afternoon at 2. Please pray God’s will be done.
I feel a bit silly asking this, but please pray for me, too. As Forrest’s caregiver, my life revolves around Emily’s schedule. I am one that would love a set weekly routine, but her schedule at Claire’s is different each week. And even when I think I know what the schedule is for the week, she sometimes has to fill in for someone else. (But at least she doesn’t work many hours, which is good for me, but not so good for her.)
She recently told me that an LPN job would most likely be per diem, again without a set schedule. 😦 I know I will adjust, I always do, but I am nervous about what kinds of hours her next job will entail. And I really, really don’t want to have to be getting Forrest ready for school & putting him on the bus in the morning.
Okay, now I have a prayer request for a young lady, SK, & older man, BJ. This is a messed up story.
SK, 23 years old, has Moebius Syndrome, like me. She is a lesbian, but amazingly, she often “likes” the scripture quotes I post on Facebook. Reading some of her posts (I don’t follow her regularly), I see that she is head-over-heels in love with “May”, & they say they are married.
I just saw pictures of May the other day. “She” is an older man (BJ), probably in his 50s, who has recently been “transitioning” to be “May”. It is so very obviously that she is a he, & I don’t think he has had any medical procedures. He used to have a “husband”, so he is a gay man who is now a trans woman lesbian.
As if they weren’t so very sexually confused enough, they are also into BDSM, claiming it helps their relationship.
Reading some of their posts, I see two people who have been very hurt & damaged in life. (There seems to be a lot of “drama” in their relationship, too.) Please pray for repentance, salvation, deliverance, & healing for each one of them (& for so many others like them).
I could use prayers. I’m not feeling so great right now, but the problem is of my own doing, I’m almost certain.
I’ve had trouble before after consuming dark chocolate or other things with caffeine, and haven’t had any for a long time. But yesterday I bought a couple dark chocolate bars, and today I’m paying the price after finishing the first one over the course of these two days.
I didn’t sleep well last night, which should have alerted me to the fact I shouldn’t eat any more of the unfinished bar, but I did today, anyway, and my heart has been racing almost all afternoon. Felt like a heart attack, just sitting and playing piano very slowly. I was exerting myself hardly at all, but the center-right part of my chest hurt, I felt like passing out, started sweating a little, etc.
I stopped what I was doing to do nothing. Fifteen minutes ago, I walked upstairs (14 steps) to get a drink of water, then went back downstairs. Got breathless. Heart rate 116 bpm.
It’s 86 bpm now, after 15 minutes of rest. Not typical. Much higher than usual. Other symptoms are mostly gone, except for a little tightness in the chest.
Pray that I’ll be disciplined about avoiding the foods that have caused problems in the past (or at least eating them in small quantities to see if they can be safely reintroduced.)
I thought dark chocolate was supposed to be so healthy. 😦
Interview week for your household, Karen! Prayers.
Heart rate and other problems I mentioned above seem to be back to normal tonight. Thank you for prayers.
I’m not sure how many will see this, but I’d appreciate prayers for my performance Saturday night. I’m hoping to avoid nervousness, and play to the best of the ability God’s given me. If I’m nervous, my hands shake, and it’s very difficult to get a good sound that way if the shake is excessive.
I won’t be on the blog the rest of the week, so if any of you who do see this would like to remind the others to pray, I would sure appreciate that. 🙂 Thank you.

Pray for my Girl. Today is a milestone in her life. She thinks she is all grown up, but she is far from it.
