“I prayed that his love for science was greater than his hatred for my people.”

Your mercy found me,
Upon the broken road,
And lifted me beyond my failing,
Into Your glory,
My sin and shame dissolved,
And now forever Yours I’ll stand
In love never to end,
To call You more than Lord,
Glorious friend.
So I throw my life upon all that You are,
‘Cause I know you gave it all for me.
And when all else fades,
My soul will dance with You,
Where the love lasts forever.
Lord, where the love lasts forever.
I will be with You, where the love lasts forever.
I will sing to you, where the love lasts forever.
I will dance with you, where the love lasts forever.

Critic and Criticism
The words critic and criticism, however can have a broader, less negative meaning than their usual connotations. The root word is the Greek kritikos, which originally meant to discern or separate.
It suggests a thoughtful examination of both weaknesses and strengths. One of the modern definitions of critical is characterized by careful analysis.
A critic, then, is a person who expresses judgements of the worth and quality of books, music, plays, and paintings. The term is most often used to refer to one who writes such judgements professionally. If you stop to think about it, you will realize that much sincere criticism is intended to be constructive and that knowing weaknesses can help someone improve performance.
Thus the purpose of critical writing is to describe and evaluate a piece of literature or art and to identify its elements, it’s purpose, it’s strengths, and its weaknesses.
Most important, the critic must examine the work of art with sympathy and an open mind, giving the author or artist an opportunity to present his central theme in his own way. A writer cannot be criticized for failing to tell an exciting mystery story when his purpose was to write a tender story of family love and sacrifice.

“Let us consider where we posses our home, and then think how we may come thinner, and let us then also attempt to win there, to the eternal bliss, where life springs from God’s love, joy in heaven. Thanks be for ever to the Holy One because He, the Prince of glory, the Lord everlasting, has honored us. Amen.”

Take Your Rainbow With You
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but to abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 1 Corinthians 4:8-9
God washes us and cleans us up. His love rinses away the residue we pick up trying to protect ourselves from life’s scratchy circumstances. When He is finished with us, we are shining, transparent, lustrous.
Certainly the rain falls in the just and the unjust (chiefly on the just, because the unjust steal their umbrellas). But a few splashes of pain don’t get me down for long. In the cesspools of life, I remember the colorful splashes of joy. I take my rainbow with me and share it with others!
We cannot protect ourselves from trouble, but we can dance through the puddles of life with a rainbow smile, twirling the only umbrella we need-the umbrella if God’s love. His covering of grace is sufficient for any problem we may have. His joy will be your constant source of strength.

“The true meaning of Chritsmas? God’s grace. And the understanding that we cannot earn any more than we can bargain for love. By its very nature, grace must be unearned and freely given, without cost, constraint, or commandment. The best we can do is to open our hearts to receive it wholly, with our strength, desire, and intent, that we might become children of the Gift. Anyway, that’s why I think Christmas is about. But what do I know, I’m just a carpenter.”

Culture, Love, and Beauty
- Lady in a Box: Oh, Mr. Webb, is there any culture or love or beauty in Grover's Corners?
- Mr Webb: Well, ma'am, there ain't much-not in the sense you mean. Come to think of it, there's some girls that play the piano at High School Commencement; but they ain't happy about it. No, ma'am, there isn't much culture; but maybe this is the place to tell you that we've got a lot of pleasures of a kind here: we like the sun comin' up over the mountain in the morning, and we all notice a good deal about the birds. We pay a lot of attention to them. And we watch the change of seasons, yes, everybody knows them. But those other things- you're right, ma'am -there ain't much. (Robinson Crusoe) and the Bible; and Handel's "Largo," we all know that; and Whistler's "Mother"-those are just about as far as we go.
- Lady in a Box: So I thought. Thank you, Mr. Webb.

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I’ll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you’ll see
How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
What are words
If you really don’t mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they’re only for good times
Then they don’t
When it’s love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we’re gone
And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I’m meant to be where I am
And I’m gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight
And I’m gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most
I’m forever keeping my angel close
(39 plays)Everytime I listen to this song, I imagine Jesus singing it to me. Thank you, God, for Your unfailing love, mercy, grace and faithfulness. =)

“And after years of hearing the heart-cry of women, I am convinced beyond doubt of this: God wants to be loved. He wants to be a priority to someone. How could we have missed this? From cover to cover, from beginning to end, the cry of God’s heart is, “Why won’t you choose Me?” It is amazing to me how humble, how vulnerable God is on this point. “You will…find me,” says the Lord, “when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jer 20:13). In other words, “Look for me, pursue me-I want you to pursue me.” Amazing. As Tozer says, “God waits to be wanted.”

Remember,
Remember to spend time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember to say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person will grow up and leave your side.
Remember to give a warm to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.
Remember to say,”I love you” to your spouse and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be the again. Give time to love, give time to speak, give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
The Paradox of Our Time; Dr Bob Moorehead

“Good fantasy writers know that consistency is the key to believable “sub-creation.” Invented worlds are convincing (and thus truly enchanting) precisely to the extent that they remain faithful to their own foundational principles. If a storyteller informs us that a sleeping princess can be awaken only by true love’s first kiss, then she must sleep on, for a hundred years if necessary, until Prince Charming arrives. If rings of power can be unmade only in the fires that forged them, then we cannot hope to destroy them in any other way. Rules, once established, must be vigorously observed; otherwise the house of cards falls to the ground.”

“My gender seems to need little encouragement. It comes naturally, like our innate love of maps. In 1260 Marco Polo headed off to find China, and in 1067, when I was seven, I tried to dig a hole straight through from our backyard with my friend Danny Wilson. We gave up at about eight feet, but it made a great fort. Hannibal crosses his famous Alps, and here comes in a boy’s life when he first crosses the street and enters the company of great explorers. Scott and Amundsen race for the South Pole, Peary and Cook vie for the North, and when last summer I have my boys some loose change and permission to ride their bikes down to the store to buy a soda, you’d have thought I’d given them a charter to find the equator. Magellan sails due west, around the tip of South America-despite warnings that he and his crew will drop off the end of the earth-and Huck Hinn heads off down the Mississippi ignoring similar threats. Powell follows the Colorado into the Grand Canyon, even though-no, because-no one has done it before and everyone is saying it can’t be done.”

“She looked at me for the first time, differently, but with the same eyes I fell in love with.”
