“Your Word is a Lamp unto my feet, and a Light unto my path” – Psalm 119:105
Your Word is a Lamp

"Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: [7] Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon." - Isaiah 55:6-7 "[1] Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. [2] Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. [3] For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. [4] Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified when Thou speakest, and be clear when Thou judgest. [5] Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. [6] Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know wisdom. [7] Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. [8] Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice. [9] Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. [10] Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. [11] Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. [12] Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and uphold me with Thy free Spirit. [13] Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto Thee. [14] Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness. [15] O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth Thy praise. [16] For Thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou delightest not in burnt offering. [17] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. [18] Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Zion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. [19] Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar." - Psalm 51:1-19 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16 I am a Christian, and I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior from my sins! Praise the LORD for saving such a sinful wretch like me!! Courage, Christian soldiers serving under King Jesus' banner! "What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31) "Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." (2 Timothy 2:3) Favorite book: The Holy Bible, which is the Word of God. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16) Other favorite books: The Bell Mountain Series by Lee Duigon; The Remnant Trilogy by Tim Chaffey and K. Marie Adams; The Crown & Covenant Trilogy and Hostage Lands by Douglas Bond; The Ultimate Proof of Creation by Jason Lisle; Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon; etc. I highly recommend these books! 📖😃 View all posts by Joshua Swanson
Haven’t seen you around in two days. Is everything all right?

Yes, I am alright! Thank you for your consideration! I have been in Nagasaki, which is about a 2 and a half hour drive from here in Fukuoka. I’ll be sure to be active on the internet.

Ah! There you are!
Man, you’re already making Youtube videos! I have no way of doing that; and even if I did, what kind of video could I make?
I have one magic trick–truly mystifying, Patty has no idea how I do it; but it can be performed in a matter of seconds. It consists of cutting a pencil in half with a dollar bill.
After that, I’m afraid I’m out of stuff to show. I could do some sword stuff, but Patty is averse to holding up a head of lettuce for me to cut in half…

Wow! That magic trick with the pencil getting cut in half by a dollar bill must be pretty amazing to watch! I would like to learn that someday. I like the magic trick where the “victim” gets to choose a card from a stack of cards and then after shuffling the cards the magician shows the exact card that the person chose. Jeremy did it first before I did, and so I learned it from him.
I also like the “thumb amputation” trick, which is quite simple. I had a few relatives and friends grossed out because of that. 🙂
I thought YouTube would be tricky, but it was easier than I thought.

Yeah, I can also “pull off” one of my fingers. That trick really freaks out 3 to 5-year-old… but it didn’t do me much good, once upon a time, at a job interview.
