Psalm 131

Another short Psalm - the key thought for me was "I have calmed and quieted my soul."  What I get from this is that I have control over anxious thought.  I can choose calm and quiet.  Amazing!

We were camping this week at Cape Lookout.  I could have done better but I did lose some of the momentum that was going.  Let's get back on the track, guy.

Dreams:

There two that stuck in my memory long enough to tell Holly and therefore, I still have enough to report to you:

1.  I was in a car with Brett and we were practically right on top of an accident where a car spun out of control and almost went over the edge of a bridge of some sort.  We went running over to it and Brett was jumping into paramedic/firefight mode.  I wanted to help and it looked to me like I could grab onto a piece of the car and pull it in closer and hold it steady.  Brett said, "No!" but I reached out and grabbed it anyway.  Fortunately it held long enough for him to pull the driver to safety but I clearly thought that I knew better and went ahead with my own idea, even though it was contrary to the wisdom that I was hearing.  Typical?  I also heard him call out right after he reached the guy - "Blood pressure is 260 over 65 - not immediately life threatening."  My thought was, "how did he do that?  Do paramedics get issued magical blood pressure readers, or maybe there is an app for that?"  No particular insight comes from that element, except that I continue to have an interest in science and medicine.

2.  We (the family, with me as dad) we visiting with friends and a snow storm came up.  It was important for us to get home so we headed out into the storm.  At one point the was a narrow path where other vehicles had gone through ahead of us but the snow was drifted higher than the car.  We were still, inexplicably, making progress and everyone in the car was chanting, "Push, angels, push!  Push, angels, push!"  We got through that patch but then came to a place where the car would just not make it to the crest of the hill just ahead of us.  I got out to scout out the situation and climbed up to see what was over the crest.  There were 3 options if we could make it to the top but each was worse that the last.  There was a wide spot in the rode back down the hill that we could coast back to so we did that.  We had food and enough gas to warm the car periodically so we would be OK.
