"Who is a God like unto thee,
that pardoneth iniquity,
and passeth by the transgression of the remnant
of his heritage?
He retaineth not His anger forever
because He delighteth in mercy.

He will turn again,
He will have compassion upon us;
He will subdue our iniquities;
and thou will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea".
Micah 7:18-19

Psalm 77:1-6
"I cried out to God with my voice-
To God with my voice;
And He gave ear to me.
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing;
My soul refused to be comforted.
I remembered God, and was troubled;
I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed.        Selah

You hold my eyelids open;
I am so troubled I cannot speak.
I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.
I call to remembrance my song in the night;
I meditate within my heart,
And my spirit makes diligent search."

Young Soldier

The young soldier fights to defend his country...
fights to uphold democracy, freedom.....
yet society can sometimes rob itself from it's own freedoms.

Josephine Cafagna writes in The Age newspaper, March 29, 2015
"It mightn't be fashionable but I love looking stylish."
She concludes in her article...
"I want to look good because it makes me feel good.
If that makes me less of an intellect,
if that makes people think less of me,
if that means I'm frivolous,
then so be it."

Psalm 80:6

"Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours:

and our enemies laugh among themselves."
