...

...i am dark, but i am lovely...sometimes it's hard for me to see the lovely...often it's hard to confess the dark.

bare-all camaraderie...i want it

...if i could but save the world...

life..if i could but save it...
if i could pluck it from danger and
restore it to the green valleys and meadows it belongs in...
with lilies, dandilions, and golden rays of glory...
...if i could take beauty and put it on a canvas...
share ideas of freedom with the dark
lead you by the hand off the worn path...
...and into sun streaked heavens of green and gold..
places men have forgotten...
...or have yet to know...
places where the heart sprouts wings and soars
...if i could set you free...
from addictions
and caffeine...
...from waiting for the next big thing...
if i could undo the clasp on your desires
untie your mind's eye
release the waters of hopes and dreams
if i could let you rest on my chest in safety
...while you browse the white clouds of possibilities...
if i could set you free...
to dream...to explore...
...to be...
i would

reality

are we all delirious living in our own little worlds of reality? what the stink is it anyway? sometimes i get scared thinking i've gone off the deep end...and then i talk to someone else and well, maybe they have too... what if life turns out to be one big Truman Show lie and there was a whole different story on the other side of the walls of deceit we found ourselves living in? geez. is there anyone that can make sense of it all?

it says that knowledge begins with fear of the Lord...
and that if you ask the Lord for wisdom He'll give it to you...
the wisdom of God is foolishness to man...
reality is found in Christ...
God is not the author of confusion....

it's what i cling to... i suppose it keeps me sane even tho, lookin back to the scripture, it will definitely appear [to the world] that i'm still a fool... can you ever win?

abortion

there is a holocaust happening among us...and we fail to act because of the silence of the victims. i feel we have numbed our ears to the silent cries in hopes that perhaps the saying, "ignorance is bliss" is true. some of us just never realized the extremeties and relevancy of this issue. just because their audible cries are not heard, doesn't mean there is no existence. the war in our world has continuously been a battle over the legitimacy of the seen and unseen. i tell you, today we must not close our eyes to the invisible winds of destruction and homocide happening in our nations.
this is not a choice. it is a child.
three inches of flesh and an audible cry doesn't change the prospect of life existing in a fetus.
convenience shouldn't be a deciding factor on whether a fetus is a baby or merely a mass of flesh.
i have heard arguments on both sides.
one, i'm appauled at some of the approaches of pro-life people. They hurl insults and present hatred for abortion supporters. This isn't the answer. we must love.
second, i'm ashamed by the hardened hearts of those supporting abortion. this is not always a case of ignorance. there are many who fully understand the procedures, but are blinded to the life existing in these children.

i am inviting pro-life supporters not to a war of hatred and insults, but a battle of love and prayer.
i am inviting pro-abortion supporters to research this topic on the web and in their hearts.

love

"You know when I saidI knew little about love?Well, that wasn't true.I know a lot about love.I've seen it.I've seen centuries and centuries of it.And it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable.All those wars. Pain and lies. Hate.Made me want to turn awayAnd never look down again.But to see the way that mankind loves.I mean, you could search The furthest reaches of the universeAnd never find anything more beautiful.So, yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know it can be unpredictable,Unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable And, well,Strangely easy to mistake for loathing.AndWhat I'm trying to say, Tristan, isI think I love you.My heart, it feels likeMy chest can barely contain it.Like it doesn't belong to me anymore.It belongs to you.And if you wanted it,I'd wish for nothing in exchange.No gifts, no goods,No demonstrations of devotion.Nothing but knowing you love me too.Just your heartIn exchange for mine."

-Yvaine (from the movie Stardust)


i'm definitely not the best at love...definitely not good at explaining it. i know i feel it often. i don't always express it well. sometimes i express something completely different... but oh, i love love. it's pretty much what makes the world go 'round. it's why we do things...our love for something.

if we could only catch a glimpse of how great the Lord's love is for us...love would never be a problem. if we could sense for a moment the vastness of His affections for us... the world would recoil for fear of being burnt by the fire of passions ignited in us. oh, for revelation of this love!
