/// Three cheers for People Who Care.
I must say, some people do excellent work and it shows. i guess i'm not supposed to show favoritism working for the government & all, but there's this one engineering firm that makes me so *proud*. if i were pursuing an engineering career, i would so work for them. (whether or not they would have me is another matter of course...)

I feel you fro, i haven't been allowed to donate either. I have borderline hematocrit count (low iron).
But yes. do give blood.
...
fro, will you be posting an assignment 21? i have to confess i don't see myself doing it anymore. i know, sad. my first missing grade. (but let's have us an assignment 22 soon, shall we?)

and my eyes are opened to see
That over All
And interwoven through Everything
is the Unfathomable Reality of GOD.
The LORD is God; His way is perfect.
Before this Lord am I rendered speechless
Before this Lord I fall
face down.

You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.

1 I love you, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.

25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
26 to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.
27 You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
28 You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.
29 With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.

30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
31 For who is God besides the LORD?
And who is the Rock except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.
34 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me;
you stoop down to make me great.
36 You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn.
[…]
46 The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted be God my Savior!
