Thoughts

Let us sit in silence
I am a moment
You are forever
There is no power greater
Than love that's almighty
With our hearts full of praise
Oh mighty love
Give us peace

That which is born of the flesh is flesh
That which is born of the Spirit is spirit
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear it's sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes

Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory forever

Mankind is in a spiritual darkness and death
That is our natural state
We need to be reborn, with a new heart
We are unable to choose good over evil, dead in our trespasses
We are reborn to be alive, free from sin
The word made flesh

God owes nobody his love
It is our responsibility to repent and believe, and trust in the Lord

Humility

We're not always the best We weren't the first and won't be the last The strongest and fastest and smartest and sometimes even the most handsome We are going to be wrong sometimes Someone else was there Someone wants it more We are proud of everything we have We were so brave when we work to get there We were for a moment strong and courageous We were for a while very clever and likeable Our time may never come, but some day There will be a time for reflection For an expression of awe and understanding The winters journey of a thousand miles Done in a day and with nothing to show A lifetime later a moment will be there A careless second is something and nothing We must remain grounded and small In order to one day grow big In order to be big, ever The best is the best is the best We are all here, trying our hardest

Hope

I plan to make the most of my time here Not too much Not too little I have my vision of just a bit in front of me I have far-off dreams And I know what I'm gonna do tomorrow A also know what I'm not gonna do What won't or shouldn't happen Because I'm strong And I have faith I can see my tiny little rock My high-flying adventure through space I know my flag doesn't mean much But there it is There it will be My own My family is going to be a part of it I have hope My friends are already there and hopefully stay a while I have strength My future can be great if only I could focus and work hard enough I know it's good Where I'll fall or change course I don't know, but that's ok with me I have hope

Boating

The crisp, fresh air Stinging the cheek muscles and Tugging on hair follicles Burning wide-open eyes until they well-up with water, soon to be streaming down to the chin The cool breeze is so quiet you can hear yourself think The waves rock your body up and down, back and forth The open freedom humms and buzzes under the too-warm sunshine Up front the bow jumps wildly in the air Like an animal in the wild Smooth and fast Free and powerful An unsteady walk to the stern A time-out from the action A side-view of the sprawling forests Clean and well-kept beaches And a massive divide, cut deep into the earth's temporary shape Fanning out and slowly falling back in line A long day of adventure and excitement A good laugh to strengthen family bonds A picnic in the wilderness And another good memory Of success
