So you think you have to make tough choices? God had to make a choice to plant a seed that would eventually be used to hang his son. Could you make that same choice? We all have hard times and have to make tough decisions but try to keep it in perspective. God chose to sacrifice his only son so that we may live, so that we can be forgiven.
Would you plant that seed?
One day you are on top of the world. Your family was happy, healthy, and living the middle class dream. Then things that you have no control over turn your world upside down. You had a little in 401k, a few little investments, and had just bought my dream house. America seemed to die a little that year and now four years later we are in the ICU on life support.
I miss my America
To sleep under a starry sky
It used to be a dream
Now it’s a nightmare with no end
To listen to the sounds of the night

The cheating and lying can only be masked for so long before the nerves are exposed and blood starts to pour. Vengence is brutal at the hands of a scorned woman. It is even worse when there are two.
All my friends said you were special
When you came strolling through the doors
Jeans and t-shirt clinging to you
Leaving me wishing I saw more
Your love has pulled me round in circles
Seems there’s no ending to the pain
Our first time it seemed so special
Until you called out her name
You’ve lost the keys to my heart
You left them lying in her bed
You’ve had me crying from the start
And I’m the fool that played the part
You’ve lost the keys to my heart

It Must Be Me
Believe what I believe! You are not tolerant! You should listen to me! People today are very polarized in their beliefs. There seems to be no gray areas only black and white. If you disagree with someone you are a bigot, a racist, intolerant, or just insensitive. Take a step back and analyze your own words. Sometimes the mirror of life can really show you the truth.
Is it me, really?
Why am I wrong
Because I do not agree
My values do not matter
In your eyes
I must give in
Or I am wrong

While visiting Savannah we saw the bricks. SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) is saving them and rebuilding areas built with blood. Buildings that were made with the bricks made by slaves are now being preserved for future generations to see and remember. A lasting reminder that life is not fair and that bad things happen. But even more, these bricks serve as a reminder that we should never let this kind of atrocity happen again.
Thankfully, a time not forgotten
Imagine their hands
Covered in mud
Throwing the mix into molds
A mixture of
Mud
Hay
Blood

When your surroundings bring to life the past you get a chill. Sometimes you cry. Sometimes you laugh. However the feelings are real and the reasons for the feelings couldn’t come at a worse time.
The heart remembers
The leaves fall around me and I cry
Their sharp edges cut my skin

Changing
All things in life can change unexpectedly. Without notice you could lose your job, home, car, or family. Some people move from relationship to relationship with little to no problems at all. Others are not so lucky. The pain and torment of losing a part of their life cannot be easily calmed. The hurt runs so deep that the wounds never heal. They keep hoping for a change that never comes.
Change happens in the blink of an eye
Love, a pain like no other
Taking a chance means making a cut
A small incision, just enough
To bleed out slowly, over time
Dying a slow death, but oh so painful
