"I didn’t know him
but I lent him my lighter anyway.
He had a fist full of roses
with no name attached;
they knew no home, instead
soaking in a vase of smoke
from the bent end of his cigarette
hanging from his wet lips.

And in that moment, it was there.
That feeling.
Like watching a lighthouse
circle its gaze at night
or staring into ( Read more... )

I was honestly feeling like crap. I was crying to God and suddenly he put in me the urge to listen to a Revolution Church sermon. I got on iTunes and see that the latest podcast it shows from Revolution Church NYC is titled "Grace, Gay and God." It's the testimony of one of Jay Bakker's friends, Christian Garrett, a preacher of 22 years. This ( Read more... )

When I look around, there are two things that I see going on in this world. First, I see the gradual downfall of our future generations; I see it in the behaviors of the children, I see it in the lifestyle of the majority of the people in this country.  Second, I see the rise in those who wish to change this.  I’ve discussed disappointment with the ( Read more... )

This is my second entry and rather short but I felt like I needed to add it anyway.  I was listening to John Hagee this morning (I love John Hagee, he's awsome if you ever want to listen to him, comes on TBN I think).  He brought up a very interesting point about what the word Diablo/devil means.  It means "accuser".  After this, Hagee brought out ( Read more... )

She was livid, saying, "We don't throw Bibles away, if we don't want them any more we give them to people who might need them!" and all this and DJ was acting like it was no big deal. He said it was in his truck and he never used ( Read more... )

How you gonna reckon with a God like this?
When you gonna face what you can't dismiss?
Whatcha gonna say to the … soul kiss that is my God?
Fearsome like the sag in a fat man's chair?
Sweeter than a patch of Rogaine hair?
How do you define what you can't compare?
This is … my God
And there's no use explaining what can't be contained
I'm not following a ( Read more... )

She could feel herself at the end of a very long tunnel, but her back was to the vast space of it. "Today is the day I begin my journey," she stated with shaky confidence. She kept trying to peek behind her, but each time a painful muscle spasm in her neck would cause her to return to her position. Each passing moment took her a little farther, ( Read more... )

For years we've been taught that we are literally 3-D beings. We have heighth, width, and depth. But I bet you've never considered our entire being as 3-dimensional.
The the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. - Genesis 2:7 (TNIV)
This breath of ( Read more... )

"But they, our ancestors, became arrogant and stiff-necked, and did not obey your commands. They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and in their rebellion appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to ( Read more... )
