Some great stories in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could go into one here, and somehow try and justify and explain and say sorry but it feels a bit pointless.  Despite me believing I have not done anything wrong, wrong has been done.  Done without malice, but done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I thought about this.  Long and hard.  My writing.  My thinking.  You don't know what's round the corner, so you can never say "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;never&lt;/span&gt;" but you can certainly think it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked to the Bible for a spot of age-old wisdom and advice about what to do, and found it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Job 38:11&lt;/strong&gt;:  This far shall ye come, and no further.&lt;/ul&gt;Thanks to all of you for reading.  If it has helped, I am glad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if it has harmed, I am sorry.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/253704237738578471-5410487588247557265?l=www.2009dakar.com%2Fblog'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/253704237738578471/5410487588247557265/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=253704237738578471&amp;postID=5410487588247557265' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/253704237738578471/posts/default/5410487588247557265'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/253704237738578471/posts/default/5410487588247557265'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.2009dakar.com/blog/2009/07/job-3811.html' title='Job 38:11'/><author><name>2009 Dakar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11016213187949461296</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04557579703481637534'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
