The story opens: It was a dark and stormy night.
A man was walking along a seaside cliff.
He was unfamiliar with the path and didn't know that a part of it had crumbled away.
He stepped onto the crumbled bank and found himself sliding down the edge of the cliff.
He was frantically

I see a sea of blue,
It reminds me of you.
I cry, I weep,
I cannot sleep.
I am here and you are there,
Knowing that you just don’t care.
My pain inside I just can’t bare.
Knowing that you just don’t care.
I hear a song, and I cry.
I can’t believe you said “good-bye.”
I feel hurt.
I feel

Backsliding:
Dear Lord! accept a sinful heart,
Which of itself complains,
And mourns, with much and frequent smart,
The evil it contains.
There fiery seeds of anger lurk,
Which often hurt my frame;
And wait but for the tempter’s work,
To fan them to a flame.
Legality holds out a bribe

A Wise man said to me! "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you’ve started." So I looked around the house to see all the things I started and hadn’t finished ... and before leaving the house this morning I finished off a bottle of red

CRUSHED FOR OUR INIQUITIES
Think about the Lord's instructions for worship in the Old Testament tabernacle. Some of the ingredients of the holy anointing oil had to be crushed before they were used, because until they were crushed their fragrance could not be released.

You’ve heard the term “on the bubble.” It refers to a team that may or may not be eligible for a tournament. So many times we feel as if we’re on the bubble. We’re not. We’re in!
