You were bitten
&#38; your heart was hard
But as I do
I gave you a way
In that mist
Which covered your eyes
You saw not,
You perished &#38; died
So simple for you
That you could not see
A rod &#38; a serpent
I only required you look
And why would you not
Just look and live?
Because, dear one,
You did not believe
So believe in me,
Believe in [...]]]></description>

I see a cliff &#38; slowly I ascend to its peak
Standing mesmerized I scan the breathtaking view
Closed-eyed &#38; breathing deeply its majesty fills my soul,
Confidently, I feel that I am one
Now ready, united, I take a mighty leap
And for a moment I am free
But the freedom I felt fast flees from my heart
As quickly I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

I am by no means perfect in my love for my fellow man, but I honor the God that fills my heart with peace and understanding towards his beautiful daughters. Last night I stumbled upon an old friend&#8217;s video that shares most powerfully the way I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, over the course of my years hear on earth I&#8217;ve experienced good friends and family members falling from the faith of their fathers. I used to hear others share stories of this and felt pretty protected from it. I had powerhouse friends, we were solid. We would occasionally do stupid things, but we weren&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ma gonna think on that! In the meantime. I was discussing the topic of desires the other day with my friend Holly. We were pondering &#38; discussing how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A black cover envelopes the valley
with a warm May eve
A thousand little lights glimmer in the distance
as stars do in clear night skies
So many people are here now,
the branches of many trees growing full
And still,
a loving Father
watches on, involved as ever

The Story: Isn&#8217;t it amazing how music can bring things to life, pull [...]]]></description>

No longer lay the marks
On open country lanes
That once spoke the story of an accident
Familiar streets invite me to turn
I heed &#38; see places I know
Memories long lost surface &#38; surprise
Forgotten scenes play like ten thousand movie reels cut, scattered &#38; taped again
Long furrows carry life to fields of alfalfa

One part imagination
One paper for each participant
One pencil for each

It has settled upon me
One reason perhaps why
I&#8217;ve been given this gift,
This thorn in the side
My desire for focus
Has stemmed from my lack
And drawn me t&#8217;wards Father
His ability in tact
I learn of His greatness
His glory &#38; light
That will encompass my spirit
When I pass through the night
