Romans 8:29

"For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers."

Blameless

Friendless I lay at the bottom of the sea
Shipwrecked I drowned, two days now three
No more to think, no more to see
Any sign of life or the color green

Down here it's gray and everthing's dull
Nothing escapes the water's strong pull
Now thanks to me this pit is full
Trapped forever in my ship's hull

Now and again a ray of light
Pierces the darkness from some great height
And for a moment, filled with delight
Until Alas! again it's night

But then at last one day I saw
The sun that rises with the dawn
And looking up I stared in awe
A man descended, life withdrawn

With me to dwell was why he came
There in his eyes I saw my shame
But there too lived a wild flame
Burning up every trace of blame

Up, up we go above the sea
That vast blue prison fades from me
Into that true Land of the Free
Together forever, we will be
Best friends for all eternity

Not Showering for a Day - A Diary


Not Showering for a Day
A Diary

8:00 The first thing I realized was that my hair looked much like it did the night before and I needed very little gel to give it its structure back.

10:00 Everything smells a bit worse.

11:30 If I rub my forehead, little Play-Doh rolls of dirt and sticky grime collect – probably the excess gel and dirt from the day before.

11:35 It’s like I can feel every pore on my face…

3:10 Steph moves to other side of office.

3:42 My nose feels different. It’s like it’s heavier… with dirt.

5:00 So tired… I think the B.O. is attacking my immune system

6:30 Worried about watching a movie with others because of my foot odor… should have changed out from my Crocs

11:30 As I lay in bed to sleep, my elbows are sticky when I bend them and, utterly ashamed and defeated, I can't wait until the morning when I can shower.
