Reflections, Poetry, and Prose from the depths of the Midnight Ocean. Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD; O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. Psalm 130 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant. After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inwards parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jeremiah 31:31-33 Wherefore the law is holy, and the Commandment Holy, and just, and good. Rom7:12 Sifatai tiftach- u'fi yagid- tehilatecha! - If I open my lips- let my mouth- declare Your praise!

The birds are in chorus with their typical morning banter and socializings. A warm soft breeze already carries the fragrance of awakening blossoms Through my screen door. Clouds are wispy and high this morning- giving just the most modest glimpse of the blue- beyond. My heart has just as pervasive a sense of serenity- as the view outside. There is no hint of the chaos that has befallen the world. No hint- to the darkness and utter confusion that lurks beyond my doorpost's. The morning whispers nothing of those who would hate me and lay a snare for me. Murderers, rapists, child abusers, homicide bombers. They are silent this morning. They seem far from me. As far away as the Land of Make Believe, or any of the other fictitious fables loci. But this is no fairytale. It's real and it's earnest, and deadly serious. It is Life.
"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom." Luke 12:32
Thank the Lord I do not belong to this world. Thank Christ I have in Him a resting place and a Sabbath.
