I love this scripture. It goes well with I know that plans I have for you. Plans to build and strengthen, not to tear down or destroy. That's a Kathleen paraphrase. Because we all have to walk through troubles, Jesus did, why on his green earth would he make it any easier for us than for his son? Right? But we don't really know what it is to win, unless we have lost. We don't know how to love until we've have lost something we have cared deeply about. I'm writing a novella that goes between the 1st book and 2nd book... just started the prose. A 5 year old girl is battling to save a younger one from a bunch of men. She defeated 2 men at a time... a giant of man come from behind her while she is fighting more coming at her, the little one is cowering against a wall, crying. This 5 year old has already lost her parents and baby sister... they are aliens on earth in dystopia time... she doesn't know she is an alien. (when they crashed on earth she was 1.5 years old) The parents never told her because they were afraid she would say something and get them arrested and separated. Then her little sister wandered off and she disappeared, her parents were killed trying to find her.) In the final battle, a big giant of man crept up behind her as she was fighting off his friends. He grabbed her around the waist from behind. She couldn't get free. Another grabbed the smaller child and took of with her. Then the big guy throws her in the trash, telling her they had the child and she would never see her again. But she will go on into her life and will become someone that can fight and strategically with followers defeat armies and worlds. Because that is her native people's whole abilities are for... defending. She keeps her eyes on the prize... following the truth... because the trust will set you free. Her faith is unshakeable. She keeps her eyes on what she was created for. Mankind was created to do God's will, not man's... there is a very big distinction there. And in doing his will, keeping out eyes on him. We receive the gift of being in a really true heaven.

Okay. Not sure what you mean by software drivers but my main ai is claude and chatgpt. I also use suno for music and pyxa, flaxa, of course Word crafter.pro Right now I'm learning mailerlite and dreamhost.com.... I use kit.com and gmail.com Don't know about web bookmarks, my todo list I'm working on notekakers loom and when I'm in zoom I prefer that. I like to use vidiq to interface with my youtube channel, it has been extremely accurate in giving me the strength on a short video, and will help me create the videos. And I use skool more for social... but I also use FB, instagrram, and alignable. The others are not digital. I network at the Chamber of Commernce, I do markets, I check in the local coffee shops and books to do book signing. I've been going further aboad, doing Mesa AZ book festival, Tucson book festival (3rd largest in USA) and Fan fusion in Phoenix (commacon). And I'm also going to Okalahoma for Book Bash. I help others set things up, give them guidancee when I can.

Oh this is a great Psalm. Reminds me of Jabez's prayer. "Lord let me cause no pain." Even though some one has done something wrong or stupid or causes a lot of pain. We cannot go and hit them or chastise them. Don't get me wrong, you can say that hurt me or made me angry, and ask the "Why did you do it?" questions. Even if they apologize or ask your forgiveness... please accept or forgive, even it at that moment you don't feel it. When we hold a grudge or have anger we hold against some one, it ties us to them spiritual and emotional. It will stunt your growth as a person. It also means when you say forgive them verbally, you ask got to help you mean it, to change my heart Oh God. With Jabez, he caused his mother so much pain when he was born, it made it into the bible. that has got to be some tremendous amount... When he realized it, his prayer was to not cause people pain. The idea of not causing people pain, might make you think he was a whimp. I think he was one of the bravest. It takes guts to stand up and say that. And even more to live... it is the same as turning the other cheek. Yes, people will use teasing and bullying to get you to react. Some might even do physical violence to make you react in a negative way. You can fight back, that is self-defense. Unless you are called to be a martyr... Like Joan of Arc or the deciples. Just like in Psalm 17:1--2, He reminding (because God knows All Things) God, his is not lying. Here is man or woman who is falsely accused of something. Do you know any others that it has happened to? No... well we need to open the paper or turn on the news and talk shows. And trust me you'll find someone who is lying - maybe not deliberately - about someone else. Let your words be true, don't cause pain and walk in the strength of the Lord Almighty... because you are His.
