She's the one you can't put down.

Christianity has always been against the flow of culture and continues to call us in the opposite direction of the way the world is heading. Instead of falling in love with ourselves, Christ followers are called to deny themselves. Instead of trusting in the power they possess, they are called to surrender to God's higher power. Instead of looking within for the answers in life, they are called to acknowledge that His ways are higher. The decision to follow Christ has always been an "all or nothing" decision.

I love the night passionately. I love it as I love my country, or my mistress, with an instinctive, deep, and unshakeable love.

Skylarks sing in the sunshine, the blue sky, the warm air, in the fresh morning light.

So yes. It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love.

Love was misunderstood, love was faith, love was the promise of now that became hope for the future. Love was a rhythm, a resonance, a reverberation.

The same gravity that relentlessly pulled at me was defied as I rose into something that became everything.
