Daniel 2:19-23

Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a night vision.
Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven; Daniel answered and said,


"Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever,


For wisdom and power belong to Him.


"And it is He who changes the times and the epochs;


He removes kings and establishes kings;


He gives wisdom to wise men,


And knowledge to men of understanding.


"It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things;


He knows what is in the darkness.


And the light dwells with Him.


"To Thee, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise,


For Thou hast given me wisdom and power;


Even now Thou hast made known to me what we requested of Thee,


For Thou hast made known to us the king's matter."

You ever taken a good gander at the Book of Daniel? Ya know that part 'bout the big ol statue with the body parts all composed of various metals and substances and such? Whattya think 'bout that? To tell the truth I am plum confounded. Blows my everlovin mind, it sure in tarnation does. Worse than consumin a bag of shrooms while caught on a hijacked ferryboat. Boy I tell you what.

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
......







I got faith. In fact I'm filled to the brim with it, all boilin' over like a kettle unattended. I know without a doubt in my head that I am gonna catch me a whopper of a fish for breakfast in the mornin. I got a collection goin' of fish bones too. Makin windchimes out of 'em. Gonna sell 'em outright to the natives here. Yessiree I am a resourceful man. Filled with idears and plans galore.

Psalm 111:10

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;

A good understanding have all those who do His commandments;

His praise endures forever.

......

You ever had pinworms? Talk about fear. I got the little varmints a few years back and I tell you what, just as sure as the day is long, that'll keep ya on yer knees prayin' for deliverance. They was everywhere. In my chaps. On my saddle. In my horse's ears even. I finally got rid of 'em with some turpentine and a match. Had to quit ridin' for a good while on account of this.

Matthew 5:43-45

"You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, and hate your enemy.'
"But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous..."
.....



This may be a bit off the subject but I reckon it rained last night round these parts, and it was beautiful, what with all the pitter-patters among the treetops and such. Rainwater's all we drink here on the island so when it falls it's a precious thing. Precious like a newborn calf, all covered in the morning dew, smellin all fresh and sweet like a eucalyptus twig.

Genesis 1:14-16

Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;
and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on earth", and it was so.
And God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.

I don't know bout you, but just thinkin bout them stars up yonder makes my head all twirly-like. Makes me feel all mystical and deep. Like a good aquarium decoration maybe. In fact just last night I got up on top of my treehouse, all stripped down nekkid and what-not, and allowed a little moonlight in my pits. I ain't sure, and there's no way I can back it up proper, but I guarantee there is some kinda scientific benefit to gettin moonlight on yer skin. Or epidermis rather.
