By the way...

...I've got an act all ready to go. Four Psalms (recited from memory), and a song. When I get the chance, I'll perform it! :)


Daniel

Nevertheless...

...I am getting my hopes up for a "water-water" situation. I am thinking of the verse: "The liberal soul shall be made fat, and he that watereth shall be watered also himself." Proverbs


Daniel


P.S. See, we seem to have decided being fat is a bad thing. Well! Read ye (and we, by all means) your (and our) Bibles!

"A good thing" ... - revised again!

... Looking back on my life, I can think of certain decisions I had to make, and it sure is a good thing I decided the way I did! Among other things, I still get to be single me - which is such a blessing! (Notwithstanding the fact that I know I keep talking about changing that. Even (at least I have done) to a fault, I know. Then again, is it really anything to apologize for, that I would "like my turn" after all the waiting I have done. I'm going to say, "No", but I AM committed to keeping that within reason!) With that in mind, whatever is going to be a good thing for others, I pray will happen.




Sincerely,

Daniel

That's right!... - revised

"-356,083,662.1"! I remember once being asked what I thought of the book of Galatians in the Bible. I read it again to refresh my memory, and replied that - as per Galatians 2, I do not "-3,942,646,345/-48,663". Of course, though, that doesn't mean my love is limited to them! Not by any means! After all, there are always, for example: "1,910,756,298,336.1"! See you soon, God willing, of course!

Daniel

I love...

"-356,083,662"!

Watching "We are Marshall"... Again!...

...At the library. It's due back on the 22nd, and I have already renewed it four times (which is the maximum); so I may return it today. The story touches me so deeply, because I know what it is to be severely "cut back" as that town was. And to have to struggle... and struggle... and struggle... to rebuild. Even when I think about my two older brothers and I, none of us are married yet. We're still alive, though, and I am still believing for it to happen. It will, however take a miracle, for which I pray, in Jesus' name! Amen!


Sincerely,

Daniel

"Righteousness... - revised

...shall go before him, and shall set us in the way of his steps." Psalm LXXXV.13 I love that verse (and that Psalm)! And I dream of its fulfillment! Unabashedly! I know that some people, therefore, think of me as "the 'w'-word" - and I do NOT relish the thought of CERTAIN people thinking of me that way; but I sure am not backing down on the conviction that God will redeem us all. Not that everything I am currently reading in my Bible even says that. II Esdras definitely does not teach the salvation of all people. I reserve the right, however, to believe he is going to do it anyway. And - for the record? I Timothy IIII.10 sure says that! Oh, yeah! "Context!" Make that I Timothy IIII.10... and 11! My prayer is that God will reveal that it IS his will to save us all; in Jesus' name, amen.


Love,

Daniel


P.S. I plan to post a poem on one of my other blogs that has been a LONG time coming... on this topic...


...Done!

Then again, God willing,...

...I will go home, spend time on my room, etc., and then make that phone call late tomorrow morning...


Sincerely,


Daniel

...Sssssssneakin! - revised again

My turn! Here's a song I discovered while living in South Korea, and just looked up. It's called, again, "Sneakin'"! (I love the part where he says, "...that guy died way back in 1974...", because - well... - it's a significant date to me ;).) So, I know not what a day may bring forth, but I plan, God willing, to try making a phone call tomorrow night. I admit, I do not completely relish this phone call, but it is definitely (as I said) nothing to worry about. I simply feel I need to apologize for a few things.


Sincerely,

Daniel


P.S. Here is another one!

Is it just me...

...or was that a huge tease! One would think it was just me, but where was the "-113,567,064.1 121,853,576,843.1 -5,967,658.1"? I looked it up because I wanted to finish watching it and "get to the punch-line"; but, again - it seems like it is just me, but - I didn't see a "-113,567,064.1 121,853,576,843.1 -5,967,658.1"! At least not in that documentary! I saw it on my way to Winnipeg last time I flew in there, and it certainly piqued my curiousity - especially seeing I AM ""-113,567,064.1"; and not a normal "-113,567,064.1" either! Oh well! At least I got to see the ending! I'm just tempted to say, as I once saw in a Wendy's advertisement: "Where's the Beef!" Now, what I NEED to do is go watch a music video a good friend shared with me on Facebook!... (If I can get on there - the Internet connection at the library seems to be finicky).


Love!


Daniel

Wisdom...

...hath builded her house. She hath hewn out her seven pillars... Proverbs IX.1


Heavenly Father, let me find wisdom - and hold her close, and never let her go. "Every wise woman buildeth her house, but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands." Proverbs XIIII.1 And let me be the kind of man she would want to marry! In Jesus' name, amen! Also, preserve me from folly.


"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, or Jehovah (or my rock), my strength, and my redeemer." Psalm XIX.14


Love,


Daniel

Children...

...They're like "X-Rays". They see right through you. If you are not yet broken? Shattered? "Discombobulated"? They take one look and say, "Yeah! Right!"


So when, as in my experience, they seem to absolutely LOVE me! Cannot seem to be able to get enough of me? Ask ME if I brought "my books"? I know I've been doing something right.


And if there is one thing that has NOT been coming through on the "X-ray", it is: "8810 -3,622,763,858,896". As a matter of fact, it would go more like this: "4,681,985,859 306,067,320,053"... OR!... "15,509,122"! And I love that feedback! It tells me that my best days are DEFINITELY ahead of me! I even like the thought of "...us", but I'll let YOU make the final decision on that one! (I know! I know! That begs the question: "...WHAT one?") Oh - something I would LOVE to talk to you about, but haven't yet, and for a reason! I have to make sure that I even should! Believe me! If I find opportunity, I will, but with one important caveat (and one last chance for you to "-226,046 -191,317,526", before I even talk about it!) After all, "With the well advised is wisdom", and NOONE has encouraged me to talk to you about that! Therefore, I WILL be prepared to show up, have fun, and not even bring up the matter! And be a good sport (something I mourn that I wish I had done better at last time; but, which I also know, I have to do! And resolve, I will!)


Daniel

I forgot to post a link!

Off to church tonight, God willing... - Updated

...and I may have to walk through some rain to get there. Again, I AM doing what I can...




Daniel


I didn't have to walk through the rain, but I did have to run! And I made it on time, by the grace of God! I was sure glad I went, but the songs and preaching (sorry to have to say) I had to bear with. It was the visiting afterward that really made me glad I had shown up. It was God's way of letting me know that my labour (and it IS labour!) is NOT in vain!

Do You Know What?... (Revised_

... I do not want you to think I am "5,133,743". I admit, though: I am at your mercy on that one. I know - at times - that I have asked for it (i.e. asked for being thought of in that way). And when I get the opportunity, I know I still have an apology to make - but I am not going to push or rush it. By the way, I LOVE the thought of BEING thought of as: "3,118,087,924" - especially in a good sense. I know: attitude is key in making the difference between the latter and the former. Another key, however, I know, is mercy - and I have had that. LOTS of it. Thank you for that. I love you for that. I would not be where I am today without it. By the way, I had to let my dream die AGAIN two days ago! I may have to YET again - and I accept that. I feel like I would do ANYTHING rather than make you think, again, that I am "5,133,743". Even let this dream die for good. I would need help with that, though. It is stubborn - and I am actually glad that it is. That is, of course, as long as it is actually legitimate. How in the world could I believe that a dream like this is legitimate? Somehow. And - admittedly - with fear and trembling. And - yet again - knowing that I don't want to be thought of as "5,133,743". Delightfully "-2,879,815,977,074.1" with a capital: "-10.1"? "-78,883,448,783,388.1"!




Having said all that, I AM continuing to do what I can to get to know people who are at least somewhere near my age; and I will continue to. I sure do not know what I day may bring forth - but if there is one thing I am determined that you are not going to get out of me, it is: "1,229,346,939/134,191".




See, I was talking to one of "you" on the phone once - months ago, and it came out in the wash that, not only had I caused "you" to think I was "5,133,743", but I had actually passed that point a long time ago. I mourn that realization - because, as ironic as it may seem, I do not want to be thought of that way. That is what was on my heart today.


Now: one thing I am adamant about is that I will not worry - even if you think of me in the way I do not want. I do admit, however, I definitely don't want that; and I pray that it will not happen, in Jesus' name. Also: my nieces and nephews (some adoptive) sure don't seem to think of me in that way - and I am very thankful for that. What's that verse in Psalm 8:2, again? "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies; that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger." When Jesus quoted that verse he rendered it: "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, thou hast perfected praise." Can six nieces (three adoptive, again) and three nephews be wrong?




Sincerely,


Daniel
