Hooray for Yah!
You rock the heat of Rah!

I will give thanks for freedom
from the treachery that killed Deacon Stephen.

I will raise my praise 
in the congregation of faith.

The works of providence are great for people!
These are the acts that overcome evil.

They are studied by all who delight in them.
Imagination is guided by the sight of rem.

Assembly has to be democratic, republican and majestic
for fairness to endure as justice in a society for testament.
The greatness of the organization will be remembered
for the graciousness that makes justice temperate. 

Money for food is given out of respect for needs.
This covenant remembers that ability heeds
the functional capacity for deeds.

People have been shown the power of work
for those who build structures that don't hurt.

Organization for the management of resources bound
defines government anywhere in the world that it is found.

Faithfulness with freedom and justice 
are the products of moral law that builds trust for us
in an open society where science is the thrust for trust.

The commandment against murder
is the foundation for morality for the learner.

Truth is built with equity in sound
for those who dwell on this ground.

Redemption was granted to those who saw
that this was the observation for the rule of law.

This administration leads to bravery in time.
Reason loves enlightenment that transcends sight 
and underlies what's right in the sublime climb.
to the conceptually tight.   .

Courage enters the car armed with respect for life.
The eclipse of moonlight doesn't stop action for what is right.

Respect for knowledge is the beginning of wisdom.
Those who act with love understand the thrum of the kid's drum.

The house of praise is built with gratitude
for the sun’s rays as the source for a strong attitude.

Raise praise for Yah!
You made the heat for the hot rock that the people saw.


111 Confitebor tibi

1 Hallelujah!
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, *
in the assembly of the upright, in the congregation.

2 Great are the deeds of the Lord! *
they are studied by all who delight in them.

3 His work is full of majesty and splendor, *
and his righteousness endures forever.

4 He makes his marvelous works to be remembered; *
the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.

5 He gives food to those who fear him; *
he is ever mindful of his covenant.

6 He has shown his people the power of his works *
in giving them the lands of the nations.

7 The works of his hands are faithfulness and justice; *
all his commandments are sure.

8 They stand fast for ever and ever, *
because they are done in truth and equity.

9 He sent redemption to his people;
he commanded his covenant forever; *
holy and awesome is his Name.

10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; *
those who act accordingly have a good understanding;
his praise endures forever.

Deuteronomy 18:16
This is what you requested of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said: ‘If I hear the voice of the Lord my God any more, or ever again see this great fire, I will die.’

Horeb- Hot Rock
Sinai- Clay Desert

1 Corinth. 8:1
Knowledge puffs up, but love builds...

Mark 1:22
...he taught them as one having authority...

Was the Mt. Horeb experience a prophecy about the death of prophecy?

Deut.18:15-16;19-20
http://bible.oremus.org/?passage=Deuteronomy+18:15-20

The Lord your God will raise a prophet like me from among your own people. You shall heed such a prophet. This is what you requested of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said: ‘If I hear the voice of the Lord my God any more, or ever again see this great fire, I will die.’

Then the Lord replied to me:...'Anyone who does not heed the words that the prophet shall speak in my name, I myself will hold accountable. But any prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, or who presumes to speak in my name a word that I have not commanded the prophet to speak—that prophet shall die.’

========================

Life in the wilderness is harsh, but nomads learn to live by avoiding death.

The Deuteronomist wrote history for the cult of Yhwh. He used the 'J' source to write. The J source was derived from the desert experience. It is supported by the movement to reduce the number of gods that people were expected to know to be regarded as pious. It sought to reduce the number of stories about immoral behavior.

The Elohim source was drawn from the experience of civilization. People had built shelters. Wandering from location to location had been reduced. Agriculture was developed. Farmers acquired a place in food production for society. It was proposed that there was a God of gods who directed the order for society. These sources pointed to monotheism from different perspectives.

The J source reminds us that there was a time when life was lived without settlement. The E source points to a time when law for society will be just for all. Justice is the guiding force for law. Murder is the greatest offense against the law with respect for the right to life.

Plato wrote 'the Timaeus' and 'the Republic' when Athenian society was in transition to the Spartan ascendancy. Democracy was defined as dictatorship. Dictatorship was defined as the province of the philosopher king. The destructiveness of the elements was the force that was to be used to keep people from rebellion.

This was a time when the Greeks saw the Persians as a threat to their culture. Athenian democracy was played down to favor a warrior culture that could defeat the Persian threat. Consensus of opinion for cultural development with education was made subordinate to winning war.

The kingdom of Judah had become a province of Persia. They celebrated the preservation of religious custom. They were a kingdom in a united kingdom. Insurrection from Greek sources was a threat to their security.

The Greeks assimilated Persian practices after Alexander's conquest. The Romans assimilated Greek and Persian practices after they had established their empire. The cruelty and violence of war became a support for severity in punishment and austerity in economics for society in general.

Wars of aggression are the greatest offense to peace. Peace is natural. War is not. Stories that claim that the other nation started a war when they didn't are the worst case of fake news.

Fake news that promotes war is not for justice. It is not protected as free speech by the first amendment of the US Constitution. This right protects a person from punishment for protesting political policy.

Freedom of assembly is also protected. People can meet to determine a consensus for communication. Those who pay for fake news and also pay to punish those who protest it, offend liberty with justice in our society.

War cannot be the rule of law for society. Defense is. A standing military and law enforcement are necessary to protect life. Violent aggression is the threat to our civility. The destructiveness of the elements is an enemy which requires the pooling of resources to combat. 

Death is the end of personal life for whoever it was that died. It is a reminder that the prediction of the end of time for society has a value in preparing for the end of life to a person's body.

The loss of life represents the end of the species symbolically and emotionally. Each loss then presents a reminder to value life while it is being lived. There is the sense that if life is lost while living it to the best of your ability, the life was worth living. It was lived well. It was a good life.

Live well then. Don't support murder or genocide. The support diminishes the quality of life for society.

Invisibility
cannot be seen.

Light is for sight.
Less at night increases fright.

Sound is a seashell mound 
to walk around.

Smell is a ship’s bell.
It’s hard to tell
from where it swelled.

Taste saves face
 for the bouillabaisse.

Touch is a friction clutch
for your double dutch.

Feel too much?
Shift your stuff
to find your rush.

Hello. Is anybody there?
I feel so transparent on the stairs.

Whatever begins to exist has a cause.
The universe began to exist after a pause.
The bang began like a heartfelt law
that draws that which is from that which was drawn.

The experience of existence forms an idea of being.
Being exists as more than the idea of seeing.
The experience of existence exists for dreaming
about more than the idea and the streaming deemed.

Nothing greater than the greatest idea of life
can be conceived to be greater in mind. 
If majesty exists beyond strife, 
it also exists in reality as ripe.  
Nobility exists in reality 
as well as in the mind as seen.

Greatness is not defined by causing destruction or damage with cruelty or violence. 
It is not defined by deception or the accumulation of capital irrespective of the law to silence.  
It is better to oppose war and the death penalty, than to believe in the 'right' to destroy people and property to try this 
as though there were divine approval for the blitz. 

Opposition cannot be destroyed by killing people. 
Opposition to killing is reinforced to feed the will. 
Is war to be preferred to peace? 
Is any religion to be defined by an 'anti-Islamic' crease?
No.
It just won't go. 

How are statutes an expression of law?
General authority lies between the specific draw
and absolute simplicity without flaw

My conception
will guide perception 
to value objective perspective 
in the midst of subjective reflection.

How is law related to morality?
The goal of responsible totality
prevents the perpetuation of harm to anyone's substantiality

My judgment will reject the condemnation
of people who accept celebration
and reject deception for the destruction of character by allegation 
to keep that responsibility which is my transparent gem.

Each person has liberty in responsibility.
All people have the entitlement to be free
with protection against exploitation's decree.
Everyone is responsible for respect to be seen.

How is morality defined by rights?
It is not defined by money's blight. 
It is not limited to the special interest 
of increasing advantage for unfinished business
for the rich in accumulating capital to increase their assets. 
It is not subordinate to the authority of access
to declare war to protect invasion, occupation 
and genocide as ‘defense.’

Rights are for people by design 
and as the functional product defined
by taxation for government that is benign. 
Goodness obtains objective standing
by the design of the natural handling 
of providence for basic entanglement
with needs being met.

Morality is for goodness sent
as an expression of balance lent
as rights for people wrent.

Government may not dictate
law by war for the profit of few or many in the state.

How do rights direct executive authority?
Executive authority may not claim absolute power for any degree of the majority.
No one is above the law. Not even all are above it with seniority.
The law is for each and all. The executive corrects error even by consensual deformity.

Executive authority overrides Congressional or Judicial abnormality 
for the rights of people in moral congeniality.

No one is above the law. 
Not even all are above that which is beyond flaw.
The law is for each and all from what was drawn.


Ps.119:25-48
He Legem pone

33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes, *
and I shall keep it to the end.

34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law; *
I shall keep it with all my heart.

35 Make me go in the path of your commandments, *
for that is my desire.

36 Incline my heart to your decrees *
and not to unjust gain.

37 Turn my eyes from watching what is worthless; *
give me life in your ways.

38 Fulfill your promise to your servant, *
which you make to those who fear you.

39 Turn away the reproach which I dread, *
because your judgments are good.

40 Behold, I long for your commandments; *
in your righteousness preserve my life.
Waw Et veniat super me

41 Let your loving-kindness come to me, O Lord, *
and your salvation, according to your promise.

42 Then shall I have a word for those who taunt me, *
because I trust in your words.

43 Do not take the word of truth out of my mouth, *
for my hope is in your judgments.
44 I shall continue to keep your law; *
I shall keep it for ever and ever.

45 I will walk at liberty, *
because I study your commandments.

46 I will tell of your decrees before kings *
and will not be ashamed.

47 I delight in your commandments, *
which I have always loved.

48 I will lift up my hands to your commandments, *
and I will meditate on your statutes.


4 Cum invocarem

1 Answer me when I call, O God, defender of my cause; *
you set me free when I am hard-pressed;
have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

2 "You mortals, how long will you dishonor my glory; *
how long will you worship dumb idols
and run after false gods?"

3 Know that the Lord does wonders for the faithful; *
when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.

4 Tremble, then, and do not sin; *
speak to your heart in silence upon your bed.

5 Offer the appointed sacrifices *
and put your trust in the Lord.

6 Many are saying, "Oh, that we might see better times!" *
Lift up the light of your countenance upon us, O Lord.

7 You have put gladness in my heart, *
more than when grain and wine and oil increase.

8 I lie down in peace; at once I fall asleep; *
for only you, Lord, make me dwell in safety.

My soul waits in silence for my salvation.
My heart beats strong with palpitation.

Deliverance has been the rock for my expectation.
Redemption is the cause for revelation.

When grace was arrested
survival by the savior was attested.

The leader considered his duty
to his youth and the beauty.

The horse bound archer spilled milk across the sky.
The black hole held the center of the galaxy mortified.

The large dog laid below the hunter and the twins.
The fighter and the rider were ready for trouble to begin.

The impulsive father considered his daughter a threat.
The swan was a reminder of when the parents of the twins had met.

The driver drove through the center with a major splash.
The hero stood by ready to dash.

How long will you seek to crush me
as though you were a toppling wall to be?

You sought only to take me down from my place of honor seen.
If I had listened to your lies I would have long since a goner been.

They cursed with their hearts.
Their blessings showed their lips dart apart.

When they turned from what they had done to harm
grace was adjusted to repair prior hurt with charm.

My soul waits alone in silence for my savior.
I will as I wait for the best in my own behavior.

My stronghold will not be shaken.
My faith is not mistaken.

Safety is the fortress for my honor.
Refuge is protection wherever I wander.

Put trust in your faith you people. 
Act only in a way that you can will as legal.

The current fad is but a fleeting breath.
Experience holds for what is best in breadth.

The end of time is always in view.
Existence needs a reality that is true.

The scales of light work even at night.
They work together to make things right.

Extortion is the distortion of the contorted.
Robbery is empty pride reported. 

When wealth is increased at the expense of worth
mirth seems to leave the earth.

Energy belongs to power.
The word is heard when the shower flowers.

Redemption belongs to those who learn this.
Value goes to those who earn it.
This bliss can't miss.

Reward patience with recognition.
Due diligence will be your decision.



62 Nonne Deo?

1 For God alone my soul in silence waits; *
from him comes my salvation.

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, *
my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.

3 How long will you assail me to crush me,
all of you together, *
as if you were a leaning fence, a toppling wall?

4 They seek only to bring me down from my place of honor; *
lies are their chief delight.

5 They bless with their lips, *
but in their hearts they curse.

6 For God alone my soul in silence waits; *
truly, my hope is in him.

7 He alone is my rock and my salvation, *
my stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken.

8 In God is my safety and my honor; *
God is my strong rock and my refuge.

9 Put your trust in him always, O people, *
pour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge.
10 Those of high degree are but a fleeting breath, *
even those of low estate cannot be trusted.

11 On the scales they are lighter than a breath, *
all of them together.

12 Put no trust in extortion;
in robbery take no empty pride; *
though wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.

13 God has spoken once, twice have I heard it, *
that power belongs to God.

14 Steadfast love is yours, O Lord, *
for you repay everyone according to his deeds.


Jonah 3:10
When what they (the people of Nineveh/Handsome) did was seen, how they turned from their evil ways, God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would bring upon them; and he did not do it.

1 Corinth. 7:29
…the appointed time has grown short; from now on, let even those who have wives be as though they had none…

Mark 1:14
Now after John (divine grace) was arrested, Jesus (divine savior) came to Galilee (wheel, revolution), proclaiming the good news* of God,* 15and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near;* repent, and believe in the good news.’

On Friday, January 19 between 4:43 and 4:55 a.m. EST, the shadows of both Europa and Ganymede will be visible at the same time for observers in the Americas. (Single shadows will be visible on Jupiter from 2:45 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. EST that morning.)

http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-january-13-21/
Is your sky dark enough for you to see the winter Milky Way? After dinnertime now, it runs vertically up and across the zenith: from Canis Major low in the southeast, up between Orion and Gemini, through Auriga and Perseus almost straight overhead, and down through Cassiopeia, Cepheus and Cygnus to the northwest horizon.

Early in the dawn of Sunday the 21st, spot the waning crescent Moon hanging in the southeastern sky. Some 12° below it (for North America) is Antares. Look 15° to the left or lower left of Antares for Saturn. The same distance lower left of Saturn is Mercury.
Auriga- the driver (charioteer)

Antares- the heart of the scorpion
Canis Major - the large dog
Cassiopeia- the daughter of promise
Cepheus- the father (ape or rock)
Cygnus- the swan (impregnated Leda, mother of the twins)
Europa- the beauty
Ganymede- the blond young man
Gemini- the twins, the fighter and the rider
Jupiter- the leader
Mercury- the thinker
Orion- the hunter
Perseus- the hero
Saturn- the grandfather

Listen to hear. 
Hear to steer clear of too much fear.

Your body is a temple.
It helps you to measure material to build upon the level.

You have been separated to be crowned.
The savior will add to your health, wealth and renown.

Reason requires context in time for meaning.
Meaning is the gleaning of conceptual healing.

Higher powers are competing for control.
They rig each poll to tax the whole.

It feels right to appeal to the highest power.
The flower for the hour looks above the tower.

This invokes transcendent self.
The twelfth elf stands on the shelf.

Transcendence can detach from the will to work.
Ego can't shirk the will to exact an act or the clerk will irk the kirk.  

Perspective on perception works an immediate bent
to accomplish what is necessary in the present
or the descent of dissent will be lent to ill intent.

The sense of imminent presence
provides comfort with confidence.

Presence, intelligence and creativity
are enhanced with faith in ingenuity
to avoid superfluity.

You have heard my plea.
You have searched me.

You know when I sit or stand.
I don't let things get out of hand.

You discerned my thought.
I have not been taught to damage the tot.

You observe my work and rest.
I do my best to bless those who need to be blessed.

You are acquainted with my ways.
I raise praise to avoid the dazed haze of brazen plays.

There was not a word on my lips when opened
that you did not know before it was spoken.
That which was spoken is a token of the unbroken.

Your presence guides me to the future
to avoid the shot from the shooter 
to block the boot from the booter
or to lock the lock against the looter.
This is the rule of protection from the fool as ruler.

Your  reach is felt into the past.
I was urged to learn from what crashed,
smashed, trashed or was slashed.

This is the craft 
from the ark of aft.

Your transcendence is heaven sent.
It lies beyond the wonderment
of the thunderous.

It is so high that I feel overwhelmed.
That which was overwhelmed is compelled 
to excel.

Can I escape Spirit?
The farthest reach doesn't steer it, 
but the will to reach is always near it.

Can I run from presence?
It is the essence of the present.

If I climb to heaven, you are there.
This leaven shows you care.

If I make my bed a grave, you are there also.
No hollow follows the bravo of Apollo.

If I were to take a flight
in the morning light
and stop
the hop
at the farthest reaches of the sea
even there, the essence of your presence will be with me.

Your security will hold me fast.
Your courage will make me last.

If I say, "The darkness will cover me."
I will not be seen by those not near enough to see.

The light around me will turn to night.
I will be kept out of sight.

The darkness is not dark to you.
The queue is not too new to be true.

The night is as bright as day.
Even the fray has something to say.

Darkness and light are both alike in a way.
The fringe of the fray shows the rate of decay.

Search me.
I am free.

Know my heart.
It provides a recurring start.

Settle my restless thoughts.
I only need that which keeps my mind taut.

Look for wrong.
It won't stay long.

Lead me in the way that is true.
It will keep me from feeling blue.

While neither slave nor serf is free,
it is right to serve to earn a fee. 


Psalm 139
To the leader. Of David. A Psalm.

1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me.
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
   you discern my thoughts from far away.
3 You search out my path and my lying down,
   and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
   O Lord, you know it completely.
5 You hem me in, behind and before,
   and lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
   it is so high that I cannot attain it.
7 Where can I go from your spirit?
   Or where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
   if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning
   and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
   and your right hand shall hold me fast.
11 If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me,
   and the light around me become night’,
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
   test me and know my thoughts.
24 See if there is any wicked* way in me,
   and lead me in the way everlasting.

Saturday, January 13

Look low in the southeast before dawn to find two bright planets standing next to each other. Mercury appears brighter, shining at magnitude –0.3, while Saturn glows at magnitude 0.5. Both lie 7° above the horizon a half-hour before sunrise, with Saturn 0.6° (about the diameter of a Full Moon) north of the inner planet. Binoculars will afford the best view of this pretty conjunction.

Sunday, January 14

Although Uranus reached opposition nearly three months ago, it remains a tempting target. The outer planet climbs highest in the south around 6 p.m. local time, when it appears two-thirds of the way to the zenith. The magnitude 5.8 world lies in southeastern Pisces, 3.5° west of the 4th-magnitude star Omicron (ο) Piscium. Although Uranus shines brightly enough to glimpse with the naked eye under a dark sky, binoculars make the task much easier. A telescope reveals the planet’s blue-green disk, which spans 3.5".

The Moon reaches apogee, the farthest point in its orbit around Earth, at 9:10 p.m. EST. It then lies 252,565 miles (406,464 kilometers) from Earth’s center.

Assign economy to authority.
Respect the public as the whole majority.

Ascribe the properties of energy to power.
The transfer of power is the cause for the tower.

Energy is the ability for a system to work.
Flip a switch and the power runs through a circuit kirk.

The machine can operate in accord with design.
When the power runs the machine works fine.

A storm system crackles with stacks that the energy packs.
Lightning flashes. The flash cracks.

Energy is transferred from the cloud to the ground
with a boom that shakes all that is around.

Energy can be transferred, converted and measured. 
Whether it is transferred or converted, it conserves the same treasure.

The constraints for property develop the forms for design. 
Design allows for variation in expansion, form and function in time.

Growth in populations can be exponential to preserve existence. 
Exponents provide proportions for this growth to preserve subsistence.

Exponents express proportion in size.
These powers also describe variance in curves as lines.

Beauty and courage create the gently curving line as twilight fades.
Time in this light plays a magical serenade.

Faith shines high and bright in the night sky.
The dog releases his breath with a mighty sigh. 

The sides of the triangle are equal in length.
The hunter pursues the prey with the dog as his strength.

Being is the beginning of soul's self control.
Soul is the mirror for life that extols.

Living is the first right for all in the law.
Let wisdom reign to correct human flaw.

The voice of the sky is gruff upon the waters
when the thunder rumbles after the lightning honors
the concert of scholars.

The sound resounds through the air.
The waves roll and echo as though they had no care.

The sound has power
that often precedes a shower.

The flash of lightning shows
wonder in darkness before thunder rolls.

Light sees instant weightless motion
as spirit with speed, the notation of notion.

Spirit sings sound 
as the crack pounds the ground
to break the back of the somber stillness
behind the roaring rain for the thrill of this.

The voice of thunder rumbles
across the sky as the wind tumbles
under the clouds dark jumble.

Hills are moved by walls of water.
Shelter protects your sons and daughters.

The mountain is consumed by the creation of clouds.
That which had been seen is no longer allowed.

The voice of power is strong.
She sings loud and long
for the splendor of fighting to right her wrongs.

Her song breaks the heart 
of the redwood, the end of the start 
that could not be broken apart.

All are crying “Have mercy”
on this temple of soul made from trees.

The power of creation
permeates life in time until cessation.

Fresh water is supplied for storage. 
Grains are grown for our porridge.

The air has been cleansed for breath in life.
The cleansing reduces the incidence of strife.

Plants grow strong for consumption. 
Consumption assures us of gumption.

Life lives with gratitude for providence.
Providence preserves essence with confidence.

Courage passes confidence in the power of the storm.
Power ravished beauty as a functional norm.

Faith did not stop beauty from her own ravishment.
The ravishment did not result in her banishment.

Arigato, Momma Cat.
This was just the result of that.

Ascribe honor to power
when it works for you by the hour.

the God of glory thunders; *
the Lord is upon the mighty waters.

4 The voice of the Lord is a powerful voice; *
the voice of the Lord is a voice of splendor.

5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedar trees; *
the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon;

and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.

7 The voice of the Lord splits the flames of fire;
the voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; *
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

8 The voice of the Lord makes the oak trees writhe *
and strips the forests bare.

9 And in the temple of the Lord *
all are crying, "Glory!"

10 The Lord sits enthroned above the flood; *
the Lord sits enthroned as King for evermore.

11 The Lord shall give strength to his people; *
the Lord shall give his people the blessing of peace.

The crescent Moon, Venus and Mars form a diagonal, gently curving line in the southwest as twilight fades.

Mars is passing faint Neptune.

Sirius will be shining in the south at its highest after midnight  The other bright stars of Canis Major are to its right and below it. Sirius forms the bottom of the bright, equilateral Winter Triangle. The triangle's other stars are Betelgeuse in Orion's shoulder to Sirius's upper right, and Procyon the same distance to Sirius's upper left. The Winter Triangle now stands upright just about in balance.

Take
Refuge
避難所を取る 
Hinansho o toru
ps 31

Take refuge.
Safety is your due.

I have taken refuge in you.
You keep me from feeling blue.

Don't make me regret my trust.
I feel like this will last beyond the dust.

Bring me civility.
Civility cultivates fertility.

Please listen.
My sweat glistens.

The clock is ticking.
My pulse quickens.

Time is escaping.
Reality is quaking.

Be my defense.
Let me see what is sure about sense.

You are my rock.
You walked the walk.

My foundation is sure.
My intention is pure.

Lead me in love.
Love me until I've won
time for fun.

Limit weapon use to defense.
Offense is not what's meant.

Let defense be defensive
Non-violence isn't offensive
but it doesn't rule out aggression.
Aggression isn't an excuse for violence,
cruelty in punishment or violet silence.

Deliver me from the trap they have set.
I won't enter into something I have to regret.

They have been exploiting trust.
They promised protection that would not rust.

You are my strength.
The measure extends beyond length.

I commend my spirit to your care.
Your love has led me to dare
to share.

You have redeemed me with truth.
Meaning gives trust that soothes.

My time is yours.
Design divined cures.

Help me to find independence.
Freedom in the law is sent from heaven.
Deliver me from deception and oppression.
The state created is not worthy of leaven.

Let your light shine through me.
Your joy in my face will be seen.
Your kindness will redeem me.
Your redemption will be believed.

I have taken refuge in you.
You kept me from feeling blue.

Safety is your due.
Take refuge.

Jeremiah 26:4-5
You shall say to them: Thus says the Lord: If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law that I have set before you, 5and to heed the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you urgently—though you have not heeded— 6then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city a curse for all the nations of the earth.

Acts 7:51-3
‘You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you are forever opposing the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors used to do. 52Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, and now you have become his betrayers and murderers. 53You are the ones that received the law as ordained by angels, and yet you have not kept it.’

Matt. 23:34-5
Therefore I send you prophets, sages and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town, 35so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.

This is the time of year when Orion shines in the east-southeast after dinnertime. Although he's well up now, his three-star Belt is still nearly vertical. The Belt points up toward Aldebaran and, beyond Aldebaran, the Pleiades. In the other direction, the Belt points down to where bright Sirius is about to rise and twinkle furiously.

Saturday, December 27
The Moon is almost first-quarter this evening. Look above it at dusk, or to its upper right after dinnertime, for the Great Square of Pegasus. At dusk the Square is upright, as shown here. Later in the evening it turns to balance on one corner.
