"It is not the time for distraction, but the season for spiritual gains. Who will guarantee us that, sleeping, we will wake up? For this reason let us compel ourselves."
+Elder Ephraim of Philotheou Mount Athos, "Counsels from the Holy Mountain"

Be like the bee who thinks everything is sweet!!

EXPELLED: Ben Stein's new documentary about why the theories of Darwinism and macro-evolution are taught as incontrovertible facts rather than theories—even with all of their flaws—and whether the theory of "intelligent design" is really an "intelligent" alternative.

"But if we try to lift up our eyes, replacing the lies, we own this moment. Truth will not be denied."

It's hard for me to honor the things that you say when it is love that never fails.

Life and Death
Energy and Peace,
If I stopped today,
it was still worth it.
Even the terrible mistakes
that I have made, and
would have unmade if I could.
The pains that have burned me
and
scarred my soul-
it was worth it.
For having been allowed to walk
where I've walked- which was to
hell on earth,
heaven on earth,
back again
into
under
far in between,
through it, in it
and above
