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."

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

"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."

"Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours:

and our enemies laugh among themselves."

"For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from Heaven, and
returneth not thither, but watereth the earth,
and maketh it bring forth and bud,
that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater;
So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth;
it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
Isaiah 55: 10-11
