like the psalms I was drowning
like the psalms I was attacked
like the psalms I was being swallowed by new enemies
like the psalms I cried out to my God
like the psalms I pleaded in my helplessness and admitted my weakness
like the psalms I despaired and praised
and like the psalms my God delivered me
like the psalms my God protected me
like the psalms my God defended me
and made me know He sees and loves
~S.L.
"The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore." ~Psalm 121:7-8

I'll never beat The Art of War. But let me explain why. About a month ago, I received an invitation from DigiLibraries to post my books there. Obviously, they post free ebooks. I have several ebooks I have authored and I post them for people to download for free, even though I retain the copyright. It's free for the reader, but that doesn't mean people can use my writing without my permission.
