amazement

"... almost the whole world is asleep - everybody you know, everybody you see, everybody you talk to. Only a few people are awake...and they live in a state of constant, total amazement."

- Joe vs the Volcano

They look up to us with big eyes

What kind of example are our lives, to those around us to the ones who are young? Some of the young look up to us with big eyes....

NEEDLES AND PINS
by Shel Silverstein


Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
Sew me a sail
To catch me the wind.

Sew me a sail
Strong as the gale,
Carpenter, bring out your
Hammers and nails.

Hammers and nails,
Hammers and nails,
Build me a boat
To go chasing the whales.

Chasing the whales,
Sailing the blue,
Find me a captain
And sign me a crew.

Captain and crew,
Captain and crew,
Take me, oh take me
To anywhere new.

Ivy: "How is it you are brave, when all the rest of us shake in our boots?"

Lucius: "I do not worry about what will happen,...only what needs to be done."

-The Village

They never taught us that in sunday school

"The only way to live in this adventure ... with all its danger and unpredictability and immensely high stakes ... is in an ongoing, intimate relationship with God." --Anonymous


There are 3 things that God has put, deep down in the heart of every man.
Three things.


A Battle to fight,
an Adventure to live,
and a Beauty to rescue.
