Oh, I here, stare out the window and pray
That it rains as a handle to hold to
Become so twisted in opening
Oh, starting, ending, finishing, beginning
Contemplating a mathematical calculation
Seeking logic in science and finding silence at a social occasion

I know that nothing I can say will change you
You'll have to do that on your own
When you open your eyes and realize
That you hate this place in life
So I'll introduce a 'Modest Proposal'
To cure us all of our lovely disease
We'll eat the children whole
And raise the wolves as our own

Random joke on a stick:
What did the painter name his son?

God has been teaching me a lot of things lately. I'll have to tell you about it all sometime. But not tonight, sorry.
Um, a few days ago I submitted a poem by my cousin Frank. I would really appreciate it (and I'm sure he would too) if you guys could leave him some encouraging comments. He's going through a tough time right now, and can really use the support. It's hard when you're in a place in life and you feel like God isn't there.
In the book, Wild at Heart, John Eldredge says, "This is a very dangerous moment, when God seems set against everything that has meant life to us. Satan spies his opportunity and leaps to accuse God in our hearts. You see, he says, God is angry with you. He's disappointed in you. If he loved you he would make things smoother. He's not out for your best, you know. The Enemy always tempts us back toward control, to recover and rebuild the false self. We must remember that it is out of love that God thwarts our imposter. As Hebrews reminds us, it is the son whom God disciplines, therefore do not lose heart (12:5-6) (pg. 111-112).
This is taken from its context, which is speaking about having a false version of ourselves that we show the world, and even ourselves. To be completely devoted to God we must discard this 'false self'. And when we start realizing that, and start trying to remove the false self from our lives, that's when Satan attacks, because we are losing "everything that has meant life to us" (111).
It's a great book. Thank you guys for your love and support and prayers.

'Your face here' upon my heart with love
