William Blake : The Poetry Foundation
Only Milton believes in the vision of the Bard's Song, and the Bard takes "refuge in Milton's bosom." As Blake realizes the insignificance of this "Vegetable World," Los merges with Blake, and he arises in "fury and strength." This ongoing belief in the hidden powers of the mind heals divisions and increases powers of perception. There one finds: "Inspiration deny'd, Genius forbidden by laws of punishment." Instead of inspiration man is driven by the "Reasoning Power" which Blake calls "An Abstract objecting power that Negates everything." It is against this mental error that Los wars: "'I must create a System or be enslav'd by another Man's
Philippians 3:9-11 Commentary
The spiritual saint never believes circumstances to be haphazard, or thinks of his life as secular and sacred; he sees everything he is dumped down in as the means of securing the knowledge of Jesus Christ. (See note Colossians 1:24) Our suffering has no atoning value but is a reflection of being identified with Christ, in covenant, as part of His body...when we suffer He suffers
Psalm 103 - MSG - Bible Study Tools
15 Men and women don't live very long; like wildflowers they spring up and blossom, 16 But a storm snuffs them out just as quickly, leaving nothing to show they were here. 17 God's love, though, is ever and always, eternally present to all who fear him, Making everything right for them and their children 18 as they follow his Covenant ways and remember to do whatever he said
I follow Him because He is the Wisdom of the Wise, the Power of the Powerful, the Ancient of Days, the Ruler of Rulers, the Leader of Leaders, the Overseer of the overcomers, and the Sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come. And, if that seems impressive, how about this? His goal is a relationship with ME! He will never leave me, never forsake me, never mislead me, never forget me, never overlook me, and never cancel my appointment in His appointment book

However, the e-mailed narratives chronicling the event have altered the details of what actually took place in a number of important ways and thus shouldn't be viewed as truthful accounts of what happened. With the help of the ACLU, the family of Natasha Appenheimer, that year's valedictorian, brought suit to prevent the inclusion of the invocation and benediction traditionally given at the school's commencement ceremony
(1 Pet 3.17) Life isn't fair! Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there

Graduating student sneezes so fellow students can say God Bless you-Truth!
They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the graduates or their families.

It stems from the Great Plague in London of 1665 when it was generally thought that the plague first showed signs of having infected someone if you sneezed. If someone were to sneeze, then it was supposedly a sign of being very clean because everyone was dirty in those days, and internal dirt coming out meant that the body thought the skin was unhealthily clean and needed some extra dirt! In most other countries, a sign of health rather than religion is given (though our religious phrase is in itself, more healthy than religious)

The Straight Dope: Why do we say "God bless you" after a sneeze?
When someone sneezes, say "God bless you and may the devil miss you." When you sneeze your soul tries to escape and saying "God bless you" crams it back in (said by Millhouse in an episode of The Simpsons).
