Lord, give me guidance. Teach me the way which I already know but do not follow.
Amen
Guide my mind before my steps, and hold my tongue tight, that I may be guarded by the shadow of the wings of your quiet mercy. Give me council through Jesus Christ, and temper my enemies, keeping me even more stronger than they! Raise the bar and lower the haughty gracefully, may it be swiftly, but in your time, which is outside of my judgement.
Have mercy on my soul, for the torment is not of my choosing; and happiness, through repentance, through your Son, Jesus, is my daily choice. Remind me to make that choice always, to keep me in your right hand, and deliver me from your left.
In Jesus Name,

Remarks Regarding the 14th Degree
All which ye seeks, man who climbs mountain-top for wisdom, is found only within the cloth which girds thine loins at the bottom!
Our Purpose:
It seems to be the glaring liability that most men only aspire for the minor degrees of knowledge. This fallacy has inculcated such a liability of drastic proportions upon the institution that raising it back up to its former glory is an up-trestle ladder-climb!
The historic metamorphosis from an operative Craft (a tangible, constructive ablative of means,) to a speculating population has caused the masses to assimilate into an incoherent, purposely self-deceived anti-ouroboros). (Mackey)
Remaining exist a purview which treads beyond Common Man’s ambition.

–Words of God-
“Flee for safety, people of Benjamin!
Flee from Jerusalem!
Sound the trumpet in Tekoa!
Raise the signal over Beth Hakkerem!
For disaster looms out of the north,
even terrible destruction.
I will destroy Daughter Zion,
so beautiful and delicate.
Shepherds with their flocks will come against her;
they will pitch their tents around her,
each tending his own portion.”

A Decision
To decide between taking a vacation for reading The Bible and getting closer to God or taking a vacation for experiencing a new life by getting closer to another person, is a decision few men have the opportunity to make.

Which training method did Jonathan Sheppard employ?
When somebody complained how Jonathan Sheppard would never explain his training program to them, this was my response:
Well, some of us understood his training program which was essentially reverse-engineered in congruency with the horse’s running date, its condition, the competition it would be up against, along with the expectations of its upcoming performance while always keeping the race AFTER that performance in mind.
