But thou, O Lord, are a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. Psalm 3:3 At the start of the year I was stricken with the flu. Somehow it quickly turned into an acute case of bronchitis... For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 I began the year with a bad case of the flu, and I have yet to fully recover... Both at the Intermediate Care Program where I work on weekday afternoons, and in the prion's general population where I reside, I will sometimes encounter other prisoners who are, in my observation, clearly suffering from what is known as "Bipolar Disorder..."
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report... think on these things. Philippians 4:8 It is a worthy challenge to seek to overcome by the grace of God all the negativity that exists in the prison environment... Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation;
continuing instant in prayer. Romans 12:12 I don't believe that anyone could argue that things seem to be getting crazy. It's evident for all to see... And His name shall be called Wonderful...
Isaiah 9:6 Right now I am enjoying a rare afternoon off from work because my civilian boss is on a two week vacation. Earlier I had been reading in the book of Isaiah the prophet, where one of the names of the coming Messiah would be "Wonderful..." Be ye steadfast, unmovable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord... I Corinthians 15:58 It's a bitterly cold day here in New York with a biting wind blowing the snow back and forth in every direction. I am thankful to be indoors... And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly;
and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. I Thessalonians 5:23 The hope and promise of Christ's return is one of the things which keeps me going...
I can breathe a sigh of relief now that the holidays are over. I am not a Christmas-type person...
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 1:37 I thank God for His kindness and faithfulness at seeing me through the previous year. But now, however, the calendar turned its page and a new year and another chapter of my life has begun... |
