A Psalm of David

Psalm 103:

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

22 Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

In this Psalms you piece together a lot of imagery and  figurative language. As you may read and notice alot of them being used, the main thing you should get out of this message is that with God blessing, anything is possible. It let's you know that God is merciful and gracious, also that he he is all powerful. In this Psalms it tells you how God throne sits in heaven as he rule over all kingdoms, but it doesn't mean to be afraid in him , but to love and walk with him. With his blessing over your soul you will see all of his great works over time. It doesn't mean to just go to church but to understand and take in his word and to also follow in the ten commandments he laid out for us. He forgive all his children and hold nothing to each one of us. With his healing and his forgiveness you will one day walk along side with him up by his throne in heaven.

A Lesson Before Dying: Chapter 3 Questions 1.How does Henry Pichot's insistence that Jefferson "did it" redirect the plot narrative?        He insistence that Jefferson "did it" to help support his opinion on how Grant shouldn't be able to visit Jefferson and also he believes that Jefferson "did it" and that he should also suffer the consequences. 2.   Miss Emma keeps saying that Grant "doesn't have to go" to visit Jefferson in prison. The narrator comments, "She was looking at me but not seeing me, and not meaning what she was saying either." What is Grant implying by this, and what does he think she means?         By saying that Grant nearly meant that Miss Emma knew that he didn't want to go but she was not very accepting of the fact. She said " doesn't have to go" just to make Grant feel bad. 3.  What does the back door of Henri Pichot's plantation house symbolize to Grant and his aunt? Why

What is my dream

        My dream, as of now is to make it to a good college and study in music. I don't really know what I want to major in within music, but I do believe I want to help others open their minds up to singing. What makes this my dream is that I was one of those people who never really had an open mind towards singing. One day when I tried out for Ben C. Rain choir, and I realized that people have more potential than what they think. Not everyone is blessed with a talent and most who have one doesn't even know it. I want to help those just like my choir director helped me. My mother always told me that I can be anything as long that I set my mind to it, so why not do something with music.       With me doing music, there's a lot I can look into. I want to push more towards a choir director because I love how it works. I love controlling the sound of the music and who should be loud and who shouldn't. I never really can see myself as the teacher, but at the same
