SOS ...---...

SOS, in 1905  was a distinct Morse code maritime disaster signal originally used as an assistance request. It has also been used as a visual request with three short, three long, three short flashes of light. 
SOS, by folk etymology, is an abbreviation of Save Our Souls!
That's the SOS appeal that speaks to my heart! I continue to seek the sin that besets my own heart.  Realization.....I need many SOS reminders to save me from myself!

Amos 6:1-7, says, "WOE to those who are at ease.....Are you better than...?
WOE to those...stretched out on their couches.....who sing idle songs, drink wine in bowls,...annoint themselves with fines oils?"

The Lord abhors such pride (v.8) It sounds like the sin of self-satisfaction to me.
How sinful I am! 
Focusing on ease and contentment being great among them. 
Me-ism.(New Morning Mercies, 8/3)

Journal jottings (5 of 10) as meditation on SOS has continued these last 
5 days. But.....examples became a jumble when folks opened the SOS list so....I left one & moved others to end of entry.*

After my own T.H.O.T. S---Trusting Him On This Subject.....I went to Allacronyms.com  I got more than I bargained for from this on-line Acronyms and Abbreviation Dictionary...1.5k popular meanings of SOS!

So.....I went back to Seeking Only Scripture----the best answer to a distress call for help!
