Again, I didn't sleep well last night.  I'm up, and it's 12:08am.  I feel really, really tired.

I have a hard time sleeping when I come visit Julie's family.  On top of that, I forgot to bring my fan with me.  It's a little frustrating.

BP70 - As Think upon and Respond to the Words of Those Around Me

Jesus to me (as I think upon and respond to the words of those around me): “Dave… Those who are full of talk and themselves know nothing; Those Who Are Wise speak very little, and then only cautiously, candidly, frankly, humbly, respectfully, and reverently of the little they do know, being careful to hint at The Source of Their Wisdom. Live out The Gospel, Dave, kind-heartedly, happily, and freely; and do so far more often than you ever talk about it. It’s hard to ignore a kind-hearted, happy, and free person. A life lived in such a way will communicate volumes and quell—through stillness and tender-heartedness—the accusing and slandering voices of the entrapped, injured, and crippled; the explosively enraged; the arrogantly hateful; the inordinately driven; the deceitfully harsh; and the painstakingly ignorant.”

BP69 - A Life of Threes (Live Out in Praise to God)

It's been said, human beings can, typically, survive for only… 1/Thee seconds [see Note below] when attacked or mauled by a wild predator (such as a lion, bear, moose, boar, or wolf). Note: These times are not absolute (as everyone is different). These times are intended to represent only general, order-of-magnitude, time-frames. 2A/Three hours (without treatment) if bitten or attacked by a poisonous snake, insect, or arachnid. 2A/Three hours (in harsh weather conditions [see Note below]) without suitable shelter. Note: Cold and wet conditions tend to be harsher on human survivability than hot and dry conditions. More people die (or die quicker) each year from hypothermia (being chilled too much for too long) than hyperthermia (being warmed too much for too long). 3/Three minutes without air. 4/Three days without water. 5A/Three weeks without food. 5B/Three weeks without sleep. 6/Three years without friendship and companionship. - Most Holy God… You’re My Hiding Place, My Prote...

BP24: Assume the Worst (Martial Arts Post)

When under attack, assume your assailant means either to end your life (and the lives of those around you) or to cause you (and those around you) great harm. Assume he's heavily armed with multiple weapons (knives, a gun, fists, feet, knees, etc.); and assume, too, he intends to use them all if necessary. When engaging with such a one (if you can't run away), don't go for his weapons. Go instead for his mind by attacking ruthlessly a vulnerable target (or multiple vulnerable targets) in his anatomy. This will disrupt his "diseased" plans and short-circuit his cognitive abilities to regroup and improvise. This is all about being present, paying attention to what's happening in the moment, and not fixating on any one thing (like, say, his left-handed grab to the collar of your jacket while he, unbeknownst to you, thrusts a knife into your side). Again… assume your assailant means to cause you great bodily harm; and assume, too, (1) He’s w...
