I love that I found help when I needed it.
Salvation came and I heeded it.

I felt desperate. My mind cried for direction.
Choice was compressed to this bit. I had to select protection 
from the danger of dereliction.

I found what I needed before the moment of crisis.
The rightness in choice was decisive. 

The cords of death had entangled me.
My sight was so strangled, I had to get free.

The grip of the grave grapple grabbed
until my adam's apple gagged
while seeing the sensible source sag 
from the sense perception had.

Sorrow drove sadness to the threshold of pain.
The horror drove madness to enfold the insane.

Then I cried for help
after yapping a yelp,
“What do I have to do to find safety?
I need it now. I need it greatly.”

The success of salvation is gracious.
It was so efficacious, it was almost salacious.

Nothing else is quite so profound
as wonder in the world once it has been found.

Defense is granted to the watchful
if only because the watchful 
watch for the goodness of the gospel.

I felt that I fell very low, but I was helped.
I exempted contempt for what I was dealt.

It is time to rest
now that I have been blessed
with the quest to sing of salvation with zest.

Stress from the test has worn my torn soul.
I will do my best to celebrate life as a whole.

I was rescued from death.
Help was given in the test.

My eyes shed natural tears.
I was grateful for my years.

My feet did not stumble
though I felt glad and humble.

I will walk in the presence 
of the divine essence
in the land of the living
to give thanks for the giving.

I believed even when 
I had been brought to a bend
when I said, 
“No one can be trusted
when your trust has been busted.”

How will I repay my debt
without regret 
for all the good things 
carried by angel wings?

I will lift up the cup of salvation 
and hold it high as a libation.

I will fulfill my promise to live
with reverence for life as a gift
in the rule of law that we win
in transcending sin.

Precious in the sight of divine Light
is the death of those who defended rights.

They lived good lives.
I am a defender of rights. 

I have been resurrected as a good life
by the experience that brought me past strife. 

I tasted a glimpse of the abyss.
It was black and gray with white lights in the tryst.

I have been freed from the world of discrimination
to recount deliverance by narration.

My ear has been opened.
I hear sounds that are spoken.

From the same mouth come blessing and curse.
Speech should be the garden ground for verse.

Who do you say that I am?
You are anointed to pass the exam.

I was not rebellious,
reckless or helpless.

I did not turn backwards.
I spoke in exact words.



Bravery is most bold when prepared.
Faith looks for benign design to be shared.

Time starts to grow bold.
The word shares the beauty of hope.

Hope desires goodness
to add to the fullness.



Measure the base 
to secure great restraint
by improving drainage for rain.


The bug pulls the stem.
You straighten the hem.

The bridge to love leads the way
to the right thing to do or say.



I will offer thanksgiving as my sacrifice.
I will give thanks to the Giver of life.

I will speak with reason for the reasonable acceptance
of benefit for people in the presence 
of the divine essence
in the assembly in public
in the city of peace that is love lit
by the waters near where the dove sits. 

Yea Yah!
You fill me with awe!



116 Dilexi, quoniam

1 I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of
my supplication, *
because he has inclined his ear to me whenever
I called upon him.
2 The cords of death entangled me;
the grip of the grave took hold of me; *
I came to grief and sorrow.
3 Then I called upon the Name of the Lord: *
"O Lord, I pray you, save my life."
4 Gracious is the Lord and righteous; *
our God is full of compassion.
5 The Lord watches over the innocent; *
I was brought very low, and he helped me.
6 Turn again to your rest, O my soul. *
for the Lord has treated you well.
7 For you have rescued my life from death, *
my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
8 I will walk in the presence of the Lord *
in the land of the living.
9 I believed, even when I said,
"I have been brought very low." *
In my distress I said, "No one can be trusted."
10 How shall I repay the Lord *
for all the good things he has done for me?
11 I will lift up the cup of salvation *
and call upon the Name of the Lord.
12 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *
in the presence of all his people.
13 Precious in the sight of the Lord *
is the death of his servants.
14 O Lord, I am your servant; *
I am your servant and the child of your handmaid;
you have freed me from my bonds.
15 I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving *
and call upon the Name of the Lord.
16 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *
in the presence of all his people,
17 In the courts of the Lord's house, *
in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!

Bermersheim vor der Höhe lies in Germany’s biggest winegrowing district. It is the winegrowing center in the middle of Rhine Hesse.

People settled there before the Romans came because the location favored trade with the convenience of a transportion hub.  It is located on the confluence of the Nahe and Rhine rivers. It is at the Rhine's entry into the gorge in the area. A Celtic (Gaulish) settlement by the name of Binge – meaning "rift" was established.

Roman troops were stationed in Bingen on the Rhine Valley Road in the early first century CE. They changed the location's name to Bingium. There the Romans erected a wooden bridge across the Nahe and constructed a bridgehead castrum. A castrum was a fortified military camp.

A Roman Mithraic monument which included a mutilated sculpture representing the nativity of Mithra was discovered in Bingen. One of its inscriptions is dated 236.

Mithras is sculpted as being born from a rock. He is shown as emerging already in his youth with a dagger in one hand and a torch in the other. He is nude, standing with his legs together emergent from the stone. He is wearing a Phrygian cap.

Another sculpture of Mithras shows him in an Anatolian costume. He is wearing a Phrygian cap in this depiction as well. He is kneeling on a bull which had been exhausted by being ridden. He is holding it by the nostrils with his left hand and stabbing it in the neck with his right. He looks to Sol with whom he will share the meat of the beast in a feast.

The sculpture distinguishes Mithraism from that part of the Hindi religion that will not sacrifice cows. The creatures are believed to be sacred.

The cult of Mithra represented another step in the direction of a monotheistic religion for Rome. The image of the sun represented the rise of one leader to power.

A Christian community was established in Bingen between 335 and 360 by the presbyter Aetherius of Bingen. Bearing witness to this time is Aetherius's gravestone. The stone can still be seen in Saint Martin's Basilica.

The town became a Frankish royal estate and passed in 983 by the Donation of Verona from Otto II to Archbishop Willigis of Mainz. The Binger Kammerforst (forest) came into being with Otto III. A stone bridge (Drususbrücke) was built some way up the river Nahe under Willigis.

The inhabitants of Bingen strove time and again for independence.The dispute between the Archbishop of Mainz and the Emperor led to destruction in 1165.

 Hildegard was born around the year 1098. Her parents were Mechtild of Merxheim-Nahet and Hildebert of Bermersheim. They were a family of the free lower nobility in the service of the Count Meginhard of Sponheim.

Hildegard was sickly from birth. She is traditionally considered to have been their youngest and tenth child, but there are records of seven older siblings. Hildegard states in her Vita that from a very young age she had experienced visions.

She was a German Benedictine abbess, writer, composer, philosopher, Christian mystic, visionary and polymath. She is considered to be the founder of scientific natural history in Germany.
Hildegard was elected magistra by her fellow nuns in 1136. She founded the monasteries of Rupertsberg in 1150 and Eibingen in 1165. One of her works as a composer, the Ordo Virtutum, is an early example of liturgical drama. It is arguably the oldest surviving morality play.

She wrote theological, botanical and medicinal texts as well as letters, liturgical songs and poems. She supervised miniature illuminations in the Rupertsberg manuscript of her first work, Scivias. She is also noted for the invention of a constructed language known as Lingua Ignota.
Pope Benedict XVI named her a Doctor of the Church in 2012.

The city is near the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers in eastern New York. It is in the same metropolitan area as the state capital, Albany. The capital is about 15 miles (24 km) southeast.
The name "Schenectady" is derived from a Mohawk word, skahnéhtati. It means "beyond the pines".
The city was founded on the south side of the Mohawk River by Dutch colonists in the 17th century.

Many moved from the Albany area. They were prohibited from the fur trade by the Albany monopoly. The monopoly kept its control after the English takeover in 1664.

Residents of the new village developed farms on strip plots along the river. Trade and travel was connected to the west via the Mohawk River and Erie Canal. The city developed rapidly in the 19th century as part of the Mohawk Valley trade, manufacturing and transportation corridor.

More people worked in manufacturing than agriculture or trade by 1824. The city had a cotton mill. It processed cotton from the Deep South. Numerous mills in New York had such ties with the South.
Nationally influential companies and industries developed in Schenectady through the 19th century.

General Electric and American Locomotive Company (ALCO) were included as powers into the mid-20th century. The city became part of emerging technologies with GE collaborating in the production of nuclear-powered submarines. It has been working on developing other forms of renewable energy in the 21st century.

Micky was named Philip Andre Rourke Jr. at birth. He was born on September 9, 1952 in Schenectady, New York. He was the son of Annette (née Cameron) and Philip Andre Rourke, Sr. His father was of Irish and German descent. His mother had Scottish, French, English and German ancestry.

His mother married Eugene Addis, a Miami Beach police officer with five sons after his parents divorced. He moved Rourke, his younger brother (Joey) and their sister (Patricia) to South Florida. There, he graduated from Miami Beach Senior High School in 1971.

He had a short career as a boxer. His amateur boxing record was 27 wins and 3 losses.

Mickey Rourke is an American actor and screenwriter who has appeared primarily as a leading man in drama, action and thriller films.

Rourke starred in the comedy-drama Diner (1982), the drama Rumble Fish (1983), the crime-black comedy film The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984) and the erotic drama 9½ Weeks (1986) during the 1980's. He received critical praise for his work in the Charles Bukowski biopic Barfly and the horror mystery Angel Heart (both 1987).

Rourke teamed up with Don Johnson and Tom Sizemore in the cult classic action film Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man in 1991. Rourke had trained as a boxer in his early years. He left acting and became a professional boxer for a time in 1991.

Rourke returned to acting and had supporting roles in several films after retiring from boxing in 1994. He was in the drama The Rainmaker (1997), the comedy-drama Buffalo '66 (1998), the thriller-remake of Get Carter (2000), the mystery film The Pledge (2001), the crime dark comedy-drama Spun (2002), the action film Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003) and the action thriller Man on Fire (2004). He played the role of a corrupt lawyer in the last film.

Rourke made his comeback in mainstream Hollywood circles with a lead role in the neo-noir action thriller Sin City in 2005. He won awards for his role from the Chicago Film Critics Association, the Irish Film and Television Awards and the Online Film Critics Society. He portrayed a past-his-prime wrestler in the 2008 film The Wrestler. He received a 2009 Golden Globe award, a BAFTA award and an Academy Award nomination for his work in the film.

He has appeared in several commercially successful films since then. These films included Iron Man 2 and The Expendables in 2010. He played the mortal king Hyperion in the 2011 film Immortals.

The Move of the Spirit was the unofficial name of a non-denominational charismatic Christian group that was started in the 1960's in Florida by Sam Fife, a former Baptist preacher.

Sam Fife used elements of charismatic ministry in his ministry in the early 1960's. He started at his church in New Orleans, then in his prayer group in Miami, Florida. His theology has been related to the Body of Christ movement. Free-spirited thinkers were craving answers. It was in the heart of the drug era. Sam Fife claimed that he would never die. His movement was presented as a non-denominational, non-profit charismatic international Christian organization.

Fife was considered an apostle by way of the five-fold ministry. A passage from Ephesians (Eph.4:11) was used to define the different ministries. It says Jesus gave some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.

Fife established ‘farms’ in Columbia, Canada and Alaska within a few years. Thousands of members still live on communal farms all over the world. Each member handed over half of their income to the 'farm'.

Pastors collected the income and acted as investment advisors. Move members dressed conservatively. Women were required to wear long skirts and shorter hair. They needed permission to go anywhere. Advice was given to members by elders in a life or death situation. Family visits had to be approved by elders.

Sources have shared reports of the organization's involvement with the horrifying torture technique of "waterboarding." It was performed on members who “didn't listen.” Some ex-members reported suffering physical, sexual and psychological abuse by leaders and elders while involved with this group.

Non-communal congregations also exist as “city bodies.” No one knows what became of Fife. It was claimed that he died in a plane wreck in South America, but no one could ever find proof.

Fife's teachings lived on through another minister named Buddy Cobb after his death. He published his own booklets and founded the Covenant Life College in 1982 in Fitzgerald, Georgia. Cobb has developed the concept that the goal of the Christian is "sinless perfection." He cites it as a requirement to be saved. Cobb stresses that we shall be saved by his (Christ's) life. He defines his life as reaching sinless perfection in living as "Dead to Sin."

A group named MOVE was established in Philadelphia in 1972. This was a black liberation group founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by John Africa (born Vincent Leaphart) in 1972. The name is not an acronym. The group lived in a communal setting in West Philadelphia. The communal setting makes the group similar to the Move of the Spirit. This group lived by philosophies of anarcho-primitivism. The group combined revolutionary ideology similar to that of the Black Panthers with work for animal rights.

The group is particularly known for two major conflicts with the Philadelphia Police Department. A standoff resulted in the death of one police officer, injuries to several other people and life sentences for nine members. These members were convicted of killing the officer in 1978.

Another confrontation ended when a police helicopter dropped a bomb on the MOVE compound in 1985. The compound was a row house in the middle of the 6200 block of Osage Avenue. The resulting fire killed eleven MOVE members. The total included five children. Sixty five houses were destroyed in the neighborhood. No civil official was charged with an offense. The survivors later filed a civil suit against the city and the police department. They were awarded $1.5 million dollars in a 1996 settlement.

One Liberty Place was completed in 1987 in Philadelphia. It is a 61-story, 945-foot (288 m) skyscraper. It is part of a complex called Liberty Place. The complex has another 58 story skyscraper, a two-story shopping mall called the Shops at Liberty Place and the 14-story Westin Philadelphia Hotel. Building the skyscrapers ended the 'gentleman's agreement' to not build anything taller than the statue of William Penn on Philadelphia City Hall. Construction on the complex started in 1985 and ended in 1987.

Sarah Steele was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 16, 1988. Her mother, Katherine A. High, is a hematology oncology physician at the University of Pennsylvania. Her father, George Steele, is an internal medicine physician specializing in nutrition who was on the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.

Steele graduated with the class of 2006 from The Episcopal Academy, a private school in southeast Pennsylvania. She graduated from Columbia University in 2011 with a B.A. in comparative literature.

Sarah is an American actress. She is best known for her role as Marissa Gold on the CBS legal drama The Good Wife and its spinoff series The Good Fight. She has appeared in a number of successful films and TV series as well.

Sakai is located in far northern Fukui Prefecture.  It is bordered by the city of Awara to the north, the Ishikawa Prefecture to the east and the Sea of Japan to the west, The city of Fukui borders the city to the south. The Kuzuryū River flows through the city. It is about 750 km (465 miles) to S. Korea.

The town of Maruoka was consolidated into the city of Sakai . The town’s main claim to fame is the historic treasure at its heart: Maruoka Castle. The castle was completed in 1576. It is one of just 12 across Japan that still have their original tenshu or main tower.

The wooden structure collapsed during the 1948 Fukui earthquake, but the subsequent restoration work managed to rescue about 80% of the original material.  A scale model inside the main tower shows what the castle and the surrounding town looked like during the Edo Period. Virtually nothing but the tenshu has survived to the present day.

The semi-legendary Kofun period Emperor Keitai is said to have come from the area that is now the Maruoka neighbourhood of Sakai. The area was divided between the holdings of Maruoka Domain, Fukui Domain and tenryō holdings directly under control of the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period.

The area was organised into part of Sakai District in Fukui Prefecture following the Meiji restoration. The epicentre of the 1948 Fukui earthquake was in Maruoka.

Takahashi Ai was born on September 14, 1986 in Sakai, Fukui Prefecture. She practiced ballet during her childhood. She is a Japanese singer, actress and model managed by UP-FRONT CREATE. She is best known as a former leader of Morning Musume and Hello! Project.

She first joined Morning Musume in 2001 through the 5th generation auditions. She replaced Mari Yaguchi in Mini Moni in 2003.

She became the leader of Morning Musume and Hello! Project in 2007. Risa Niigaki and Ai Takahashi became the first members to remain in Morning Musume for eight years on August 26, 2009.They were  the longest-serving members in Morning Musume history. They had broken the four-year-old record set by Kaori Iida.

Ai-chan passed both leadership positions to fellow 5th generation member Niigaki Risa when she graduated on September 30, 2011. She was one of the longest-serving Morning Musume leaders.

Yuko. Llida and Ai served for four years each. Ai was in Morning Musume for ten years when she graduated. She added an element of playful sexiness to the joyful persona that had been displayed by the leadership. She enjoys singing and dancing with character.

Takashi has focused on acting and modeling. She has become known as a "fashion icon" since her graduation from Hello! Project. She has teamed up with Tanaka Reina, Morning Musume and Risa Niigaki for different musical performances on video.
