Psalms 18

Psalm 18 (King James Version)

This is how I felt about the criteria for the book review that has a 1000 word limit. It seemed impossible to meet the standards in only 1000 words, but with God nothing is impossible.

1 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?

32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

Happy I Figured Out My Fatigue Issue

Capital M, Capital S, Capital G

M S G

Also know as monosodium glutamate and many other names. I was having some chronic fatigue issues in the last couple of weeks, and I could not figure it out. Turns out that I am especially sensitive to the food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG). I figure that my father must have used an abundance of it on the chicken breast that he made for dinner because it knocked me right out. I was down for four hours and I did not pig out on the food. I had a average serving. One chicken breast, a little spinach, a fourth of a peice of corn, and a little rice. I immediately started to become tired after eating the chicken. My mother told me that it was all in my head. But, I have been drinking jungle juice and taking extra vitamins to combat this problem for weeks. I've even mixed up some of the trusty Super Green Food powder that we have sitting around, and nothing has worked.

Now, I understand. If Chinese food restaurants have been forced to put "No MSG" on the front of their places of business, then this chemical must be a serious health threat. I sent my dad an email with all the potential side effects. The most scary one for me was grostesque obesity. Not just obesity - grotesque obesity. Wake up America. Food additives are a big reason why you're fat. Then there are the minor side effects like cancer and heart disease. Makes you not want to eat any processed foods.

I had to copy this table just for people to see it:

A Close to Crazy Decision

So I've been giving away my services for a while now. Marketing consulting, English tutoring...and now I'm giving away investment training. Now, that I have started all of this I realize it was a near crazy decision because it is yet another excuse to procrastinate on my school work. Like right now for instance.

I dunno. I read somewhere that you are suppose to give in the direction that you want to go. I read that you are suppose to be generous because eventually it will be returned to you by those people or by others because it's a law that God created. But, at the moment, all I feel is pressure. And yet, I can't think of anything that seems more right to drop than the Master's degree program in TESOL.

Step back. Breathe.

I'm supposed to be making music,
not supposed to be making Ds.
Just kidd'n
I'm making As and Bs.
Don't make that second one plural,
'cause it's the one I gotta keep
as one B, one B.

--

It's funny people looking at me.
Tell me I'm all sophisticated
I'm like please.
They call me professor, smart,
"Oh, you're educated."
Educated enough to know that it means
nothing next to the Gospel of the King.

--

You see I'll be teaching English, but
music I've gotta teach, 'cause if you
block what flows from your soul you
life story will be weak.

Get up, rise up, it's time to shine.
I've been shining all along with my ability to rhyme.
But, now I've got a purpose to work this
the lyrics on a page
now I've I got a reason to keep timing
like Johnny Blaze.

Oh I Figured Out Why I Procrastinate

I was just talking with my mother about this; it might just be the same state of millions if not billions of other people. We have gone through a school system in which other people decide if we are good enough. They grade us. And then after we graduate and we pursue our dreams we no longer have that system to help us stay on course.

Besides that, I realized that I have a unhealthy, perhaps crazy attraction to things that I'm afraid of. The last few years I have designed my life around doing things that I'm terrified of doing. For example, cliff diving/jumping, rock climbing. And because I have become somewhat addicted to that rush of being in danger--rising to a challenge, etc.

So it is simply exhilarating for me to wait until I have precisely enough time left to do something and then to rise to the challenge of completing it before the deadline. This is why there is a market for life coaching; they keep you accountable, give you deadlines for things that you want to do and that you would never give yourself a deadline for.

For many years I have been trying to fabricate these circumstances. Little challenges for myself, but the problem has consistently been that my "accountability partners" have little interest in themselves or much less my dreams and so with that lack of commitment the relationship falls apart.

If only I had a big exam coming up on PPC. If only I had a teacher hanging over me while I struggle to finish another book. I have been waiting a long time to be able to do this. I started a spoof channel on Youtube about this, and now I know it is essential to do again. I need to get another coach because I'm terrified of not keeping my word.
