My wounds STINK and are CORRUPT because of my foolishness....

[Richard Steele]

I am troubled; I am bowed down GREATLY.

And no matter how many times I read the Bible all thew way through,
that Psalm 28alcways gets me rihht in the gut.

[Lil Missy]

1. Here's what I found on Psalm 28. What is your beef?

1 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

6 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

8 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

2. My biggest "beef" is when stupid people try to act smart.

[Lil Missy]

3. I responded to the way you presented the question.

Thank you for cutting this short and determing I am stupid.

I don't argue. Nor do I get baited into stupid shit.

Just put me on Ignore. Kay?

[LaurenG]

4. That was really uncalled for. What an ugly thing to wake up to.

:(

[Lil Missy]

5. Thank you.

I thought it was plenty rude.

But, don't lose any sleep over it. I won't.

[Lil Missy]

7. Hey dude. I only responded within your guidelines.

Tell ya what now. You can either apologize for being so damned rude, or kiss my nevermind.

:D

[Richard Steele]

8. Does it have to be one or the other? Seriously though, I apologize.

I was being a total TOOL to you, and there was no reason for it.

[Lil Missy]

6. Hey, Richard Steele.

I understand the bible shit. And why you are troubled? Forget that shit.

And seriously, don't give ME a ration of horse-shit. I really do not appreciate you calling ME stupid.

I'd be more kind about it, but since you are acting like such a butt-hole, then figure it out for yourself.

I responded to your Bible message, and you trashed me. Now you can kiss my ass.

[Richard Steele]

9. I'm very sorry. I was in "total asshole" mode there, and you did not deserve that.

I have some problems, just like everyone does,
and I deal with them like everyone else does...
But sometimes I bottle up my bad feelings for way too long,
and then the bottle pops at a random moment.

You were being very nice & polite in this thread,
and I suddenly turned into the biggest jerk on the planet
and dumped a big bottle of bile on you.
You didn't deserve that, and there was no reason for it.

I cannot apologize enough.

I am well and truly REGRETFUL about the way I acted.
If I can ever do anything to make it up to you, please let me know.

Richard

10. You really need the Lyre to make them work

David had a Lyre. That's why all the chicks dug him.

:hug:

[Richard Steele]

11. Hi supernova. Thank you so much for responding- it's good to hear from a friend.

As you can see from this thread, I'm kinda "betwixt & between"
at the moment and flailing about randomly...
I'm fucking up all over the place.

I was with Beth for 9 years, I kinda thought it was gonna continue forever...
and now I'm suddenly 40 years old and homeless.
It takes a bit of "getting used to", Itellyawhut!

How are things with you? Good,I hope.

[struggle4progress]

12. Crap. I hope you're not really homeless.

13. Aww, I've been better frankly

I'm between jobs.

Again.

*sigh*

This is getting really old. I could do with some stability, Itellyawhut! :P

I did not know that you and Beth had split. I'm so sorry. :-(

I'm trying to get my own writing practice off the ground. But it's slow going.

[Richard Steele]

15. Major hugs to you, my friend.

Sorry to hear that you are between jobs right now.

But I'm not too "sorry"...
you have such an amazing amount of 'good energy'
surrounding you that it ZAPPED me like a TASER
evey time I said "hello" and touched your hand.

16. It's Psalm 38, and you're right, it's really powerful

1 O LORD, rebuke me not in Your wrath,
And chasten me not in Your burning anger.
2 For Your arrows have sunk deep into me,
And Your hand has pressed down on me.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation;
There is no health in my bones because of my sin.
4 For my iniquities are gone over my head;
As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.
5 My wounds grow foul and fester
Because of my folly.
6 I am bent over and greatly bowed down;
I go mourning all day long.
7 For my loins are filled with burning,
And there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 I am benumbed and badly crushed;
I groan because of the agitation of my heart.
9 Lord, all my desire is before You;
And my sighing is not hidden from You.
10 My heart throbs, my strength fails me;
And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.
11 My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 Those who seek my life lay snares for me;
And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction,
And they devise treachery all day long.
13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.
14 Yes, I am like a man who does not hear,
And in whose mouth are no arguments.
15 For I hope in You, O LORD;
You will answer, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, “May they not rejoice over me,
Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me.”
17 For I am ready to fall,
And my sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I confess my iniquity;
I am full of anxiety because of my sin.
19 But my enemies are vigorous and strong,
And many are those who hate me wrongfully.
20 And those who repay evil for good,
They oppose me, because I follow what is good.
21 Do not forsake me, O LORD;
O my God, do not be far from me!
22 Make haste to help me,
O Lord, my salvation!

Sorry things are not going well - you've always been one of my favorite posters on the DU...

[Lil Missy]

18. Hey Richard.

Thank you for the apology.

If you do pass by Omaha, please do shoot me a PM.

I will also kick your butt in person! LOL!

We're cool. No probs here.

:hug:
