Good Morning H-10
Hexagram 10
by James Byrd
I. The Oracle
A. Treading Carefully, with this we see it is best at this time for "The Superior Man," or one to display correct conduct, there will be some progress if one does not, intentionally or unintentionally step on the Tiger`s Tail. We must guard our speech and behavior so that any premature actions do not bring the ceiling down on all in the room. Hexagram Ten in short means not to tread on the tail of the strong, their position is just that, the place of the strong. When all puzzle pieces are correctly adjutant they are in their correctly appointed places. With respect to all, do not overreach your authority.
1. The Tiger`s Tail.2. This means that one must mind his or her manners or bad things will happen, in most cases, staying within the means, or middle way is the appropriate action at this time. The will of the people will suffice.
B. The Image
1. Heaven above, the lake below, hence, we see that of the sky above that of a marsh. There the Tiger hides with his mighty claws waiting for the prey, you are not by nature his prey, so he ignores your scent, but you must be careful as not to step on his tail as you are now following very close to, 11 Peace
. Focus on health and exercise.a) The image, thus the superior man discriminates between high and low, and thereby fortifies the thinking of the people. Carry Respect.
b) Treading on the Tiger`s Tail. It does not bite the man. Success.
"When you are certain of ultimate success, it doesn’t matter even if you stomp on the tiger’s tail. The most important thing is to take action, when conditions are favorable. But great caution and consideration should be taken beforehand, so that the outcome is clear before you make your move." ~ 10 Trending Carefully
II. My interpretation
A. The story is that of the one-eyed man who thinks he sees all, but steps on the Tiger`s Tail, because he only sees things in one way, that of a Bravo who at the moment is acting out, and we can say, his aims are good but his modus operandi is somewhat too forceful, given the current situation. If only this person would be somewhat apprehensive during these well-tuned times.
If so, there will be good fortune for all. It is the prudent action of the people that should prevail, that mere act, will not be colluded
towards any circumstance. If only the man would not jester on his own accord, but instead, act in accordance with the will of the people, let the audience vote on the answer, which will be the correct dynamics
of that time.
If this man is not of a quiet type and of a somewhat solitary
type demeanor while occupying his correct potion
, then all will not fall into place, completion is what we are after now folks. Mind you again, he is not the one the tiger
is stalking, but if he steps into the wrong concerns without the consent of his people, there will be peril. Now if he does indeed watches his steps and heed the omens of time, all is well for all. There will be a crowd, you will be challenged, talking equals six, that of conflict, just do this, stay calm and proper.

Good Morning H-60
Line 3 -
: "To live a life of leisure before having contributed to society; to act willfully and selfishly in violation of reasonable rules and customs; to defy social conventions for the thrill of doing so -- these are excesses that lead to seriously unfavorable consequences. Take initiative, and find pleasure, inside the bounds of what is fair and proper." ~ http://divination.com/iching/lookup/60-2/

Good Morning H-54
The Marrying Maiden
by James Byrd
2. This means the end of life as a maiden and the beginning of motherhood for a young girl if this position is adopted at the correct time.
a) The image, one must know this in order for there to be a favorable ending one must take measures to ensure a correct and timely beginning.
b) Thus the superior man is careful in the differentiation of things so that each finds its correct place and time. Now I ask you, is the moon nearly full now?
I.The Oracle
A. Now with this situation, I can say with very little doubt, that there will be nothing to be gained by advancing at this time. "Go Easy." The Marrying Maiden is accompanied by her younger sister who is the vested consort. With these terms, all is well, but if by chance the consort is the older sister all will not be well. And of course, twins would make it a very difficult situation. It's "Domestic", just turn-a-round and walks away. On all accounts, the marriage can without penalties be canceled until the situation fairs well. To hold such an important event as a wedding at such an inopportune moment, would be the same as a cloudy sky but no rain.

B. The Image
1. Thunder over the Lakea) The image, one must know this in order for there to be a favorable ending one must take measures to ensure a correct and timely beginning.
b) Thus the superior man is careful in the differentiation of things so that each finds its correct place and time. Now I ask you, is the moon nearly full now?
II.My interpretation
A. The main theme with Hexagram 54 is, do not be overoptimistic at this time. Things, in this case, could go wrong during the duration of a quick marriage if granted at an inopportune moment.
1. I agree, no one is perfect but tries at best to ensure that the happiness of that significant other is handled with care when planning such a memorable event as an, one and only, everlasting wedding. I can also say this after the next full moon, go for it. -This is full, that is full.- Could be that is why, -Honey Moon.- Marriage is good, but we must start with a good beginning in order to end with a good and auspicious duration which should lead to that of Abundance, all parts working right, crank-out some more of those.Karcher, S. and Ritesema, R.

Good Morning H-18
by James Byrd
2. Supreme Success
a) The image of Decay
b) Thus the superior man stirs up the people, this strengthens their spirit.
I. The Oracle
A. Hexagram eighteen is related directly with Decay. Another variation is The idea of Fixing or working on that which is decaying or on that which is spoiled, or we can say, when a sailboat is not out at sea, work on the sails because due to the weather over time the sails will, rot or decay:
1. Work on what has been spoiled, this is a sign of supreme success. It furthers one to cross the great water. Follow through with your large plans at this time, now is the time; Before the starting point, three days. After the starting point, three days2. Supreme Success
B. The Image
1. The wind blows low on the mountaina) The image of Decay
b) Thus the superior man stirs up the people, this strengthens their spirit.
II. My interpretation
A. Work on that which is spoiled has something to do with a person's character (heredity and/or psychological traits) which has run aground from that of the norm. This can be seen in how that person might treat his fellow man, that is, in terms of respect. If a person senses this happening within their persona it is time to pull back and fix the internal workings of their personality. One word, meditation, that would be the keyword if one wanted to create a better reflection of their subconscious.
1. Now is the perfect time to cross the great river, in plain words, it is time to follow through with those long term strategic plans. Pay close attention to the three days before, and three days after the starting point, which is now. The picture I gathered today was while clearing a flowerpot of old dead annual plants, there was a perennial seedling sprouting up. So with that image, we can see after clearing the decayed plants away, there appear to be amounts the dead new life, renovation. Now also remember there is an implication of there being a windy day today as well. Remember, do not be over expressive, think and internalize what enunciation is appropriate to bring forth. Abuse of power is indicated.Karcher, S. and Ritesema, R. (1995). I Ching: The Classic Chinese Oracle of Change [The First Complete Translation with Concordance]

God's Minitute ~ 9-23-19
September Twenty-Third ~ God's Daily Minute
“Let Thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even Thy salvation, according to Thy word. So shall have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in Thy word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in Thy judgments. So shall I keep Thy law continually for ever and ever.” –Ps. 119:41-44
Our Father, Who in Heaven; Thou art also upon the earth. Thou didst stretch forth Thy hand and darkness came over the earth, Thou hast stretched it forth again and light has flooded the world. We give Thee thanks for the morning light and for the sleep and rest of the night. Grant to us this day wisdom for our problems, courage for our task, patience for our toil, strength for our burdens, and faith for our enterprises. Enable us to so spend this day that our work shall be our worship. May we be “the glory of Christ” among men, commending Him and His salvation. Enable us to so spend the day that our spiritual life shall be enriched by its experiences, and our fellow men helped by our influence. Help us to maintain a conscience void of offense toward God and man. We ask it all in Christ’s name. Amen

“I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God.” – Deut. 30:16 ~
Our Heavenly Father, we come to Thee this morning with praise and thanksgiving for Thy care and love. We are grateful for the temporal blessings Thou hast given us, and for the loved ones we have to enjoy. We thank Thee for the gift of Thy Son, and for the Holy Spirit.
We ask Thee to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Be with us this day, and help us to be kind and courteous. Help us to be more like Thee. May our eyes be opened to the opportunities for serving Thee and helping others to know Thee, Whom to know aright is life eternal.
May Thy spirit be with those, at home or abroad, who preach or teach salvation, and grant that the word preached my not return unto Thee void. Be with those in authority and may they rule with justice and equity. Comfort “as one whom his mother comforteth” those in trouble and sorrow, and strengthen those in sickness.
Our Father, hear our petition, and keep us this day without sin, for the sake and in the name of Jesus, our Saviour. Amen
