• The Risk of Love

  Posted: February 11, 2008, 3:42 pm by Administrator

  There is a risk involved in everything
  Every time you share a smile
  Every time you shed a tear
  You are opening yourself up to hurt.

  Some people tread slowly through life,
  Avoiding the closeness risk brings,
  Side-stepping the things they can’t understand
  Turning away from those who care too much,
  Those who care stay too long,
  Those who hold too tightly.

  There is never an easy way to love
  You can not approach it cautiously
  It will not wait for you to arm yourself.
  It does not care if you turn away
  It is everywhere, it is everything.

  Love is the greatest of all risks.
  It is not reliable, it is not cautious,
  It is not sympathetic
  It is unprejudiced and unmerciliess.
  It strikes the strongest of mind,
  And brings them to their knees in one blow.

  Even in the best of times, love hurts.
  It hurts to need, it hurts to belong,
  It hurts to be the other part of someone else,
  Without either of your consent.
  But, from the moment it overtakes you,
  It hurts worse to be all alone.
  The risk of love never depletes;
  It grows stronger and more dangerous with time.
  But, it’s in the total surrender of all defense,
  That we, no matter weak or strong,
  No matter willing or captive,
  No matter what, we truly experience love.

  Despite the many things love is not,
  Outweighing it all are the things that love is.
  Love is surrender without a loss.
  It is a gift without the cost.
  It consumes your every thought & desire,
  Every breath you take.
  It is the fire that fuels you
  To do more than pass through life;
  It urges you, instead, to live.
  No matter the outcome, having felt love,
  You will never be the same.
  It may scar your heart & soul
  And Leave you only memories of forever.
  Or, it may cause every day of your life
  To feel like there is no need for tomorrow.
  But, love is worth it. It is worth the risk…
  For in all of life,
  Love is truly the only risk worth taking.

• Word As The All-Seeing Friend

  Posted: February 7, 2008, 1:04 pm by Administrator

  A person has a spot on the dress at the back at a place that a quick glance in the morning mirror did not show. And that person will walk through the streets without being aware of the presence of the blemish. However, no matter how smartly dressed the person is, he will feel unsure of himself since he will sense that everything is not quite right. The person might even notice others staring or pointing. What a relief it would be if a friend or even a stranger were to make the effort of helping to correct the anomaly? The spot would then be removed and the person will be able to walk with confidence once again.

  God is the friend who sees something that we cannot see and is not afraid to tell us. To a Christian, reading the Bible – God’s word - will inform the person about all the things that need changing in their lives. And when a person heeds the word and implements the changes, he or she will be able to make things right once again with the self.

  If you are put in a metal institution and the only other sane person refuses to tell you that you are not insane, what will you think? Will you think that you are insane because he did not say that you are sane…or will you believe in what you know?

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
