the concept of a king is pretty foreign to us freedom-loving democracy advocates in the u.s. today. back then, the king was the state, the representative of governance and the sole authority of the government. in the 20th psalm, we have an account of the people of God praying for their king, an act that was akin to praying for the country. i don't think it's necessarily the same as praying for the president, as he's not the sole figure in charge of the country, but it's got implications on how we should direct our prayers. in all things, we must rely on God.
church was good. set up our first actual meeting for membership [tuesday from 5-6] and asked for assistance for the incredibly great cost of registering my car, which pastor taylor had offered weeks ago. just now got the actual number, and really anything would help. i had a property claim for like $120 and the state of california sent me around $60, which should tell you something about the economic state of affairs in my former place of abode. yeesh. maybe it's an installment or something, that would be nice. yeah. that's all for today. gamestop tomorrow.
