92. 'What is man that thou art mindful of him? the son of man, that thou visitest him?'
Mon May 25, 2015, 06:12 AM

'Man.... you are a piece of work'.
Indeed.

Psalm 139 (excerpt)
'For it was you who created my being,
knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I thank you for the wonder of my being,
for the wonders of all your creation.'

Psalm 8 ►
King James Bible

How Majestic is Your Name!

1{To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

7All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

9O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

'BTW, I'd be fine if I lost all my gizmos. I know how to make things. '

Foolishness, thy name is Adrahil. That just shows you would be lost without your gizmos.

If you work for a large company and you come up with a brilliant idea, you will be prohibited from patenting it. The patent rights in it will belong to the company. Never mind if you leave it first. It makes no odds. I'm not talking about engineers, paid to come up with ideas; I mean guys on the production line and office workers.

Pray for Vladimir Putin, the last, secular Christian leader who is a bulwark against the globalist, capitalist Behemoth.
