help-me

Stop blaming people for not helping you to solve your problems. The question is simple "are they the ones in the problem with you"? People may teach you, people may advise you, people may inspire you, but it takes YOU to go the extra mile and make an indelible impact!

They wanted to help me with my pain.

Before you leave me again, tell me, so I can let you know if I__ ready to watch you go...

If you perceive a world where there are separate images and you still feel a charge about anything, that is the indicator that you want to ask for Help. Lord, help me today. I am determined to see. Help me to see. That is where the openness and the humility come in. If you feel a charge about something, you not only are not seeing clearly, you are not seeing at all.

Help me,_ the girl pleaded softly.Sam knelt beside her. He recoiled in shock. __ette?__he left side of Bouncing Bette__ face was covered in blood. There was a gash above her temple. She was panting, gasping, like she had collapsed after a marathon and was trying with her last ounce of energy to crawl across the finish line.__ette, what happened?___hey__e trying to get me,_ Bette cried, and clutched at Sam__ arm.The three dark figures advanced to the edge of the circle of light. One was clearly Orc. No one else was that big. Edilio and Quinn moved into the garage doorway.Sam disengaged from Bette and took up a position beside Edilio.__ou want me to beat on you guys, I will!_ Orc yelled.__hat__ going on here?_ Sam demanded. He narrowed his eyes and recognized the other two boys, a kid named Karl, a seventh grader from school, and Chaz, one of the Coates eighth graders. All three were armed with aluminum bats.__his isn__ your business,_ Chaz said. __e__e dealing with something here.___ealing with what? Orc, did you hit Bette?___he was breaking the rules,_ Orc said.__ou hit a girl, man?_ Edilio said, outraged.__hut up, wetback,_ Orc said.__here__ Howard?_ Sam asked, just to stall while he tried to figure out what to do. He__ lost one fight to Orc already.Orc took the question as an insult. __ don__ need Howard to handle you, Sam.__rc marched right up to Sam, stopped a foot away, and put his bat on his shoulder like he was ready to swing for a home run. Like a batter ready for the next fastball. Only this was closer to T-ball: Sam__ head was impossible to miss.__ove, Sam,_ Orc ordered.__kay, I__ not doing this again,_ Quinn said. __et him have her, Sam.___in__ no __et me,__ Orc said. __ do what I want.__am noticed movement behind Orc. There were people coming down the street, twenty or more kids. Orc noticed it too, and glanced behind him.__hey aren__ going to save you,_ Orc said, and swung the bat hard.Sam ducked. The bat whooshed past his head, and Orc rotated halfway around, carried forward by the momentum.Sam was thrown off balance, but Edilio was ready. He let loose a roar and plowed headfirst into Orc. Edilio was maybe half Orc__ size, but Orc was knocked off his feet. He sprawled out on the concrete.Chaz went after Edilio, trying to pull him off Orc.The crowd of kids who had come running down the street surged forward. There were angry voices and threats, all aimed at Orc.They yelled, Sam noted, but no one exactly jumped into the unequal fight.
