"Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible." -T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia)

| So why you gotta act like you know when you dont' know?
It's ok if you don't know everything.
Kids today gettin' old too fast
...They get nostalgic about the last ten years
before the last ten years have passed.

My heart was flooded tonight; washed with light. I was journaling in my room and decided to cruise by my inbox and see if any new mail showed up. It was a piece of mail that I have waited for with suppressed anticipation. I found my way quickly to the Invisible Children website. Unfortunately my connection wasn't fast enough to watch the video that my heart was racing to see, so I literally RAN out of my apartment with my laptop in-hand to the nearby coffeeshop. I saw all the faces I know; my friends and loves. And I saw strangers in strange lands, but with the same beating heart. I SAW history. We WERE history. Do you understand? My heart is stirred. I wept when I saw it all. I got goosebumps that didn't go away. It is so unspeakably inspiring and riveting to see with my own eyes and feel with my own senses the dream put on skin and accomplish what it aimed to be. I cannot get it out of my mind.
If Jesus is real and if we really believe that following Him is a wholistic journey-something that restores us and makes us complete; something that is capable of making the world right, then why do we do nothing?HOW CAN WE KNOW SO MUCH, YET DO SO LITTLE? our generation is the answer for this question. we are plagued by a disease. it is a cancer at home in our very spirit that is equivalent to the crisis of the aids epidemic in africa. call it apathy. or drudgery or boredom. or preoccupation. or perhaps distraction. it is our enemy and we must fight it! these words create a shape for our anthem.
When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on, in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I'm so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
Help me out - Yeah
You know you got to help me out - Yeah
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out - Yeah
And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be
You know you got to help me out - Yeah
Oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down - Yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down
I GOT SOUL, BUT I'M NOT A SOLDIER.
Over and in, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
(Time, Truth, and Hearts)
If you can hold on
our hearts hurt for these children. we stand in the gap because we see the outcome of their lives if we do nothing-and we will not allow it. THE WORLD WILL LOOK TO US FOR ANSWERS. HISTORY WILL HOLD US RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT WE DO-OR DON'T DO.
our story has only begun.
the goal is soul,
