Name.

Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw within the moonlight in his room,
making it rich and like a lily in bloom.
An Angel writing in a book of gold:-
 Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And To the Presence in the Room he said,

"What writest thou?" The Vision raised its head,
And with a look made of all sweet accord
Answered, "The names of those who love the 'Lord."
"And is mine one?" said Abou. "Nay not so,"
Replied the Angel. Abou spoke more low.
But cheerily still; and said, "I pray then then,
Write me as one who loves his fellow-men,"

The Angel Wrote and vanished. The next night
It came again with a great wakening light,
And showed the names whom love of God has blessed,
And Lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest!

The indications reveal that few of us realize life is quite surreal...

I did it.  But I'm not done...

I guess that's just the Pete Rose in me.

"God came from Teman, 

The Holy One from Mount Paran.  

Selah  

His glory covered the heavens, 

And the earth was full of His praise.   

His brightness was like the light; 

He had rays flashing from His hand, 

And there His power was hidden. 

Before Him went pestilence, 

And fever followed at His feet.  

He stood and measured the earth; 

He looked and startled the nations. 

And the everlasting mountains were scattered, 

The perpetual hills bowed. 

His ways are everlasting. 

I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;

The curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

O LORD, were You displeased with the rivers,
Was Your anger against the rivers,
Was Your wrath against the sea

That You rode on Your horses, 

Your chariots of salvation? 

Your bow was made quite ready; 

Oaths were sworn over Your arrows.  

Selah  

You divided the earth with rivers. 

The mountains saw You and trembled; 

The overflowing of the water passed by. 

The deep uttered its voice,
And lifted its hands on high. 

The sun and moon stood still in their habitation; 

At the light of Your arrows they went, 

At the shining of Your glittering spear. 

You marched through the land in indignation; 

You trampled the nations in anger. 

You went forth for the salvation of Your people, 

For salvation with Your Anointed. 

You struck the head from the house of the wicked, 

By laying bare from foundation to neck.  

Selah  

You thrust through with his own arrows 

The head of his villages. 

They came out like a whirlwind to scatter me; 

Their rejoicing was like feasting on the poor in secret. 

You walked through the sea with Your horses, 

Through the heap of great waters. 

When I heard, my body trembled; 

My lips quivered at the voice; 

Rottenness entered my bones; 

And I trembled in myself, 

That I might rest in the day of trouble..."
