Let my God display His might
as lightening rips the air,
let thunder bellow out His name
the smallest echo of His true power
just to feel a breath of His
I’m almost blown away.
Let me stand and feel the rain
pelting, stinging, never still
beyond what I could ever dream
beyond what’s tame and calm and nice
the heart of God poured out [...]

Today I broke down and went to the doctor. I wasn’t going to. I was going to stick with the natural remedies and I was going to be patient and they were going to work. But this morning I just felt so defeated. Life must carry on and I am too frustrated out of it [...]

(I wrote this as a response on an e-mail list, and then the Seth voice in my head said that I should post it on the blog too. So here it is, slightly edited to make sense out of its original context.)

For some reason being sick makes me really chatty. About being sick, that is. Usually when I’m sick I don’t like talking about much of anything else. Thursday I had a really sore throat and felt a head cold coming on. I spent most of Friday lying around being sick. By Saturday night I had [...]

Yesterday I watched a movie called Green Street Hooligans. According to the MPAA it was rated R for “Brutal violence and pervasive language.” Now, sometimes the reasons given for the ratings make absolutely no sense, but in this case they were spot on. Brutal violence and all pervasive language. And for some reason I really [...]

Today is Thursday. You might have noticed. Thursday is Crystal’s grocery shopping day and so she spends most of the day out of the house. Hope goes with her because she goes most everywhere with Crystal and Arianna goes because she is a most helpful girl. That leaves me home with four boys all to [...]

(I wrote this last Sunday sitting on ground at the river. I’m not entirely sure where it came from, but I know it’s been inside for a while.)
I wish I could write about the sky. The sky touches me in a way that bypasses concious thought. It’s like guitar music or dance or the [...]

The Intro
The two ships floated in the midst of the asteroid field. Neither of them had any control, any propulsion, but the comm link was still strong. Ty was the first to break the silence.
