A Quest for the Crown

Many men are sent on a quest
For the crown
Searching all corners of the great land
The minstrel tries to sing as before
But the jester he laughs no more
Many men are sent on a mission of hope
Asking fortune-tellers and the wise men
Where the royal crown is to be found
Promising rewards in silver gold and pounds

When the king returns from the crusades
There is no big welcome on the shore
As he hear the news of the missing crown
He shouts at the sky
Have I ever let you down
The elderly call it a sign as famine
Strikes the land
Caught in the grip Of the reapers cold hand

The mission must succeed
Or the kingdom will fall
With it falls the future if us all

No crystal-ball manage to find
Guidance in their holy quest
God is the last hope for our nation
Of earth stone and damnation

Many years had past since the king died
When one day a young boy looked down
Into the moat
Something was gleaming deep down
What could it be If not for the kings crown

-Falconer "A Quest for the Crown"

Bite-Sized Food for Thought

"You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters."

- Saint Bernard

"The Christian writer does not decide what would be good for the world and proceed to deliver it. Like a very doubtful Jacob, he confronts what stands in his path and wonders if he will come out of the struggle at all."

– Flannery O’Connor

"And like all true believers, I am truly skeptical of all that I have said."

- Over the Rhine, "The World Can Wait"

"If you write for God, you will reach many men and bring them joy. If you write for men, you may make some money, and you may give someone a little joy, and you may make a noise in the world — for a little while. If you write only for yourself, you can read what you yourself have written, and after ten minutes, you will be so disgusted you will wish that you were dead."

- Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation

The Lost Post

Howdy all!

What is going on? Well lets see with me I have been so-so busy with school and work. Today I had success because I finally got my program to run and I got a grade of 100 on it. Yes!

Yesterday, I went with Steve and Brian to Bible Talk and we had a disscussion on love. Since yesterday was Valentine's Day. It was a good disscussion. Then after that Steve and I went with the group to the Golden Dynasty, a chinese restruant down the street and hung out there for an hour or two. It was fun. Steve and I shared the Orange chicken. We all got fortune cookies and my said something like "don't strive for a simple occupation, go for the gold" or something like that. Steve got "You need some rest and relaxation over the next few days". I wanted to switch, but he said no. Then everyone started talking about really gross mold things they have found in there fridge or around there house. Some stories were pretty nasty.

After this enlighting time we all headed out of there and I boogied home where I had some r & r. That was what I did for Valentine's Day.

This week has been pretty good. Not to crazy, I had a Computer Forensics midterm on Wednesday and I wrote a book on all the essay questions. I think I did pretty well. I am really enjoy the sunshine. So nice! Can I hear a "Amen"!

Nothing new has really happened in my life, but things are looking up.....right now. :)

With Love From Me To you

Make the world new,
Things you dream to do,
With love from to you

Well I've had a thousand dreams,
but never one like this
And I've felt a million things,
but never felt quite, quite, like this.
So tell me, what's your name?
And what's inside that heart of yours?
Tell me everything, just talk and I'll listen,
Just talk and I'll listen.

Come love, see the earth spin,
Watch the colors collide, with hope at our side,
All that is mine, with love from me to you.

Girl, tell me what's your dream, and I'll be there,
To serve your every need, yes, your every care,
All I have is his, and all I have I'll give.

Morning meets with songs, sung like I've never heard,
And all the smells, and sights, that bright my life, Can't contain this joy unheard.
So tell me, what's your name? And what's inside that heart of yours?
Tell me everything, just talk and I'll listen,
Just talk and I'll listen.

Come love, see the earth spin,
Watch the colors collide, with hope at our side,
All that is mine, with love from me to you.

Girl tell me what's your dream, and I'll be there,
To serve your every need, yes, your every care,
All I have is his, and all I have I'll give.

Make the world new.
Things you dream to do,
With love from to you...

Just talk and I'll listen, talk and I'll listen
