If I cannot leave this body I will walk beyond this slate-city Until my feet are worn and brown And the mottled earth will be numb beneath me And the city behind me will rise...

Favorite Quote:
But we were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties whatever they may be worth; our symphonies however seldom they may be played; our peaceful acres, however frequently they may be converted into battlefields; our dreams however rarely they may be accomplished. The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen. We are known among the stars by our poems, not our corpses.

Alone in a crowd. The person everyone forgets to invite. Overlooked. Lonely. Invisible. Lost. Life isnt always easy. While you are guaranteed a glorious hope and eternity in Heaven as a believer, sometimes making it through this life just seems like too much. &quot;It&#039;s too hard. I can&#039;t do it. It hurts to much. I&#039;m a dissapointment.&quot; Sometimes it seems like depression and pessimisim would better describe us than phrases like joy, unspeakable, and eternal optimism.<br /> It&#039;s a new year, but that doesnt mean all of your longings, depressions, and doubts have faded away. When you feel forgotten, overlooked, or alone in a crowd of believers who have it all &quot;together&quot; God knows. This life isn&#039;t hopeless, and He wants to give us hope when we have none. God doesn&#039;t abandon us or forget His children.<br /> YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!!! YOU HAVE HOPE IN HIM!!!
