Bring it on world,
What ever you can bring against me I can take it head on.
Because I am not alone.
The weight under which I once would have faultered,
Is now not so heavy.
It weighs less now that I have a leader,
A man so devoted to me,
That He gave away His life for me.
Alwasy I will try harder,
Knowing what has been suffered for my wrongs.
Knowing what has been suffered I will not mind suffering a little longer,
Till my time is done.
Alwasy when I feel tired and gone,
I will know I can lift a little more.

Wow, I am clueless. I don't ever seem to know what is going around with the ppl around with me. No matter what I think someone is thinking or feeling I it is usually something else. Man in a world where knowing the people around you is crucial, I am not if very good shape. But as it is said "In the land of the Blind the one eyed man is king." So I had better be on the lookout for a way to at least half see. Hey I need a cool slogan. Hurm how about "Craig, he knows how to talk to inaddament objects."? or "Craig, he can fall on his face and never know he is bleeding" or "Craig, he really can't drive a trackter."

Why is it that tales of the underdog overcoming all opposition and winning inspire us so much? Is it because we all see ourselfs as the underdog? Or because we admire ppl who can push themselfs past their limits? Well I don't know about you but it is hard enough succeding with obstacles that aren't overwhelming. Sigh, well by the end of this year I will be big and buff in body and in mind I hope. Need to focus more on this studying thing though. I am slacking majorly in reading the bible too. However I have been thinking and praying alot more recently, I think Jesus needs to push me out the door and into his world so I won't be distracted by mine. The other night Vernon shared one of the prayers he has been praying for us lately, for clear sight. It is a great prayer, what I didn't tell him though is that it has been my prayer too for the last few weeks. A prayer for clearness of mind and sight into God's world and to see things the way he wants me to see them, plus to see how he wants me to live. It is so easy to loose focus and forget things. One of my bigest faults is remeberance I don't remember what he wasnts well enough. I grasp a concept then 3 days later I can barley remember the outlines of it. The only thing I can think of is that it must not be that important if God doesn't want me to remember it.

Icy anger and chills of hate,
Cost our souls in the streams of fate.
Destined are we who serach for gold,
To die alone when we grow old.
Greed desolates men of power,
While the humble man’s souls will flower.
To rise above the whims of lust,
To learn the meaning of love’s trust.
Simple should be the life of man,
To do what he can to be on God’s right hand.
