psalm 16

keep me safe, o God,

for in you I take refuge.

i said to the Lord, "you are my lord;

apart from you I have no good thing."

as for the saints who are in the land,

they are the glorious ones in whom

is all my delight.

The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods.

I will not pour out their libations of blood

or take up their names on my lips.

Lord, you have assigned me my portion

and my cup:

you have made my lot secure.

the boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

surely I have a delightful inheritance.

I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;

even at night my heart instructs me.

I have set the Lord always before me.

Because he is at my right hand,

I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;

my body also will rest secure,

because you will not abandon me to the grave,

nor will you let your Holy One see decay.

You have made known to me the path of life;

you will fill me with joy in your presence,

with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

GO SEE

Lord Save Us From Your Followers.

tunks.

I've just met an old friend for the first time.

T. H. White's  THE ONCE & FUTURE KING is my new favorite book.

i enjoy many novels and smile at the characters and the language...

but the stories that are my friends... not mere acquaintances seem to be ones that i don't know anyone else has read...

obviously they are classics...

but no one takes the time to read them anymore...

at least not of my friends.

pass the port.

i absolutely love this book and i'm only to the IVth chapter.

my imagination "took flight" while reading it and has grown to weigh 4 kilos more than it did before checking this book out.

i want to drive up to the big cemetary tomorrow morning and spread out a blanket and read.

something about heaven that i love thinking about is that there are friends i do not know yet.

people who wrote some of my favorite books may be there...

people who were in the bible and people from other countries who speak different languages...

people i've never met may be my best friends...

thats sort of how i feel about books that are SO me.

its like this deep connection of magic thread tying our souls together.

as you read you just find so much delight in finding yourself in the pages and knowing you were there before your eyes glimpsed the pages....

i've been here before! my brain exclaims as i pass by the words.

i've grown to understand the things in this book before i ever read it...

and they so much define who i am its as though i'm reading my own adventures.

i love it.

merlyn is my hero.

and archimedes is my best friend.
