Phil Morris Johnson, Jr.

Psalm 139:7-10 (NIV):  Where can I go from your Spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.  If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

18: When I awake, I am still with you.
