Revealed

My heart cries out
But words I am without
Of something so vast
My mind cannot grasp

The depth of love
The sky above
No time
No space
No rhyme
No way to embrace

The enormity
The profundity
My God is He
Resides in ME!
How can this be?

Before you I stand
Lifting up my hands
Nothing between
Yet still unseen

My God
My Lord
My Savior
Creator

Close my eyes
Ever near
His whispered sigh
I can hear

Warm embrace
So full of grace
His arms around me
His glory astounds me

Taken in rapture
For a moment captured
Open my eyes I don’t dare
Bated breath in silent prayer

A voice on the gentle breeze
Tells me that He sees.

Check your chip at the door.

If you are easily offended, you may want to stop where you are. I am a Christ follower, a human, and a political science major, which you can imagine, makes for an eclectic mix of ideas. I go to church, but I do not believe "religion" is anything more than an institution. Relationship, now that's what it's all about.

I do not see color unless color is thrown in my face. I do not believe in being offended by things people say because we all say stupid things from time to time and sometimes what we say isn't meant to sound the way others hear it. I also believe that the things people say are often colored by their circumstances. Often, very kind people are faced with situations that make their words sharp and coarse.

I don't mind people who disagree with me because I reserve the right to disagree with them. We have a right to free speech and if I want to have it, then you get it too. However, foul language and name-calling are just plain stupid. If you can't disagree in an intelligent manner, then I don't want to hear your stupidity. Know why you disagree and don't just mimic what you've heard from someone else. Think for yourself. Also, find truth. It won't be given to you on TV or in the papers. Blogs will often go way off in the other direction. Find it for yourself and then stand up for it. It does exist.

That being said, THIS IS MY BLOG and I won't have it hijacked by ANYbody. If you don't like what you read and feel the need to spew, you can e-mail me, but you will not be allowed to comment anywhere on my blog. Even if you find a place to, it will be deleted. This is MY place. Go get your own.
