And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. --Ezekiel 2:1-2, 6th century BC
Stand up, and the Spirit will help you stand.
No Man is an Island
No man is an Iland, intire of itselfe; every man
is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine;
if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe
is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as
well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine
owne were; any mans death diminishes me,
because I am involved in Mankinde;
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. --John Donne, 1624
Every man is a part of everyman. No one does it on his own.

And to Ezekiel's contemporary, The Lord spoke,"Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name; Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Chuck, BBBH quoted those verses quite often.
It is also a foundational verse for what was the World Radio Missionary Fellowship, with which we served for 3 years at HCJB in Quito, Ecuador.
Chuck, Blogger needs a "like" button.
More than a few times, I found myself looking for one.
