Today I got far more books than usual, just on a whim. I prayed it would somehow be meaningful to someone, whatever I got today. I read the Bible first and prayed too. Blessings for my son and protection for him. And then for forgiveness and for help and that today maybe something I get through this will be meaningful in an unexpected way. Then I opened the Bible and got Judges 7:18 "When I blow with a trumpet, I an dall that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, the sword of the Lord and of Gideon."
This made me think about the man who played trumpet at the open mic in Seattle when I was being chased after there. I think this verse goes to him and then the rest, who knows. Mark 8:33, Romans 1:4, I Sam 16:21, and Job 10:3 (which I feel is for me).
Also, I had the song Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord-- "The name of the Lord, is like a strong tower/the righteous run into it and they are saved..." come to mind this morning as I was walking
