barely bothered

my posts have been sporadic, at best. i apologize. the cause itself is complex, i suppose.

to be honest, i can't write anything.

perhaps it is the post trauma of all the car accidents.

perhaps it is the dosage and combination of my plethora of meds.

regardless, something needs to change.

in pieces - Psalm 18: 5-6; 16; 19

the cords of death entangled me;
the torrents of destruction
overwhelmed me.
the cords of the grave coiled
around me.
in my distress I called to the
Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
from his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his
ears…
he reached down from on high and
took hold of me;
he drew me out of my deep waters.
he rescued me…from my foes who
were too strong for me.
he brought me out into a spacious
place;
he rescued me because he delighted
in me.

and my come to jesus continues to be justified. it is almost scary how exactly parallel this psalm is.

the car is going to flip (cords of death)
we are going very fast (torrents of destruction)
we could all die (cords of grave)
dear god, please don't let us flip (cry
dear god, please let us stop flipping(for
dear god, please let us land on our wheels(help)
thank god it has stopped (he heard my voice)
thank god the doors open (took hold of me)
thank god i am alive (drew me out and rescued me)
thank god for giving me another chance (delighted in me)
