Sabrina awoke Monday to horrific coverage of the Texas massacre.
Anxious prayers rising for reoccurring worldwide tragedies not preferred.

26 killed in church attack in Texas' deadliest mass shooting*

Asked why the permittance of violent murders done?
Not asked why Satan's rulership should be overcome.

For the honest-hearted that seek to find
within God's word is given peace of mind:

"Jehovah is waiting patiently to show you favor,
and he will rise up to show you mercy.
For Jehovah is a God of justice.

Happy are all those keeping in expectation of him.” Isa. 30:18.

“I will give you insight and instruct you in the way you should go.
I will give you advice with my eye upon you." Ps. 32:8
Is what meek and righteous ones need to know.

Shutting down her phone, Sabrina quickly dressed in a floral shirt-dress and flats, her burgundy swede jacket with matching swede beret hat for early field service. Two local elders requested to lunch with her after.

Their reason? Unknown. Their shepherding concern
causing her a bit of mental disturbance.

Their interest earlier she discussed with Wayne erupting a harsh and bitter laughter.

"Sabrina, why do you still with them always confer?
Is it because you don't have your father here to defer?

Are you afraid of what's inside of you?
Is not your knowledge enough to pull you through?"

These things are what Wayne did truly say
as they strolled leisurely
damp campus grounds
hand-in-hand
only yesterday.

As a breeze did tease Sabrina's curly hair.
As the leaves did twirl freely without a care.
As the sun did finally shine to dry the air.
And as Wayne did stop to caress and stare.

Sabrina sadly becoming less unaware
that their paths need part if not to impair
her relationship with her Creator being first in heart.

This difficult for Wayne who required this special place
especially after her father in death did suddenly depart.

As they parted company before her home
Sabrina wondered just where Wayne would roam
since early enough for him not to stay alone
as she needed to study before evenings' twilight's gone.

As she tossed a salad to curb her hunger
she thought more about Wayne's continual development as this growing monger.

Lately he's become a different guy.

Yet, afraid she became to even pry.
Since, from childhood they played 
and he became her dear friend.
And the thought of his absence too
seemed to initiate a ready cry.

If their life's decisions weren't harmonized,
she knew their relationship he'd soon despise.

So surely she needs it to end
before her emotions do descend
into a black hole.

Her relationship with her spiritual father
maybe never again to ascend.

So Sabrina concluded:
I must again pray and rethink what I wrote in my journal earlier this morning:

“I will give you insight and instruct you in the way you should go.
I will give you advice with my eye upon you." Ps. 32:8

This gave her peace.

Whereas,
Wayne's presence brought her a sensual pleasure
which she needed to strenuously contain.

His bitter words and arrogant actions
to her consciousness
a repeated frequent
awful warning

making her resolutions
an unbalanced see-saw
difficult to maintain.

As she took the stairs with her tray
to her bedroom attain
fatherly advise she recalled
not to be distained:

"Do not become like a horse or a mule,
without understanding,

Whose spiritedness must be controlled with a bridle or a halter
Before it will come near to you.” Ps. 32:9

For, "A whip is for the horse, a bridle is for the donkey,
And the rod is for the back of stupid people." Proverbs 26:3.

Yes,
making an unwise decision
could prove to be a deadly lost
very costly

whereas
wisdom exercised
is a worthwhile course of action
priceless in its' gain--

Endless Life.

If from disloyalty
I refrain.

Unlike Adam
whose unbalanced love for Eve
caused sin and death
unlovingly and selfishly
to all his offspring
sadly claim.


Sabrina mediated upon this
before settling down to a sociology assignment
about culture, strife
and liberties reclaimed... TO BE CONT'D
