When things get too heavy in the midst of insanity

  This must be how Jeremiah felt when he had to seek out some staying power.  He was in the midst of  "a stiff-necked people" and he was feeling the weight of the day.  He called out to God:
  
  
  Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
  
  
  And God called back to him:
  
  
  Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hardfor me?  (Jer. 32: 17, 27).
  
  
  
  
  
  
  As my daddy used to say, "It beez that way sometime."
  
  
  
  
  Well okay then!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  While I dwell on this travesty in a prayerful mood and a sadness in my heart as if Pfc Bradley Manning is my own child, I won't lament.  
  
  
  Instead:
  
  
  
  
  I will Trust in the Lord with all my heart, and I will not lean to my own understanding.  In all my ways I will acknowledge him, and he will direct my paths.  I will not be wise in my own eyes.  Instead I will fear the Lord and keep from evil. Therein is hidden health in my navel and the marrow of my bones.  So I will honor the Lord with all that I am and with all that I've got.  So be it.
  
  
  
  
  Now,

  
  
  "I feel better, so much better, since I laid my burdens down."
