...not really Superman
Hannah: Heath! I love your shirt... are you gonna save the world?
Heath: Nah.
Hannah: Ah, but why not?
Heath: *perplexed expression* Well... I'm not really Superman. It's just a shirt.
Hannah: Man, that's too bad.
Heath: But! ...I have a full Superman suit at home!
Hannah: And when you put that on, THEN are you Superman?
Heath: *perplexed expression returns* ...no.

these ordinary days
my anthem.
//
not much for conversation
i still find need to pray
sometimes i get tired of walking
through these ordinary days
//
if nothing else i get to see You
even if we never speak
the harm of words is sometimes we don’t
quite know what they really mean
//
i don’t know where
i don’t know how
i don’t know why
but Your love can make these things better...

Moses: What are you doing, Don?
Don: Worshiping a golden cow.
Moses: Why? Why would you reject the one true God?
Don: Because I don't get to see Him or talk to Him. I am not even certain He exists.
Moses: Are you on crack, Don? Weren't you there when God parted the Red Sea? Weren't you there when God fed us from the ground, made water from a rock, led us with a cloud?
Don: Calm down, Mosey. Listen, man, you always go up and talk to God and come back with a sunburn, and you have God hover around your tent in a cloud, and you have God turn your staff into a snake, and we get nothing. Nothing! It's not like we have this personal communication going with God, you know, Moses. We are just sheep out here in the desert, and, honestly, we were better off as slaves to the Egyptians. That is where your God brought us. We need a god too. We need a god to worship. We need a god to touch and feel and interact with in a very personal way. So I made a cow. You can also wear it as a necklace.
Moses: Don, before I put you to death and send you home to the one true God, I want you to understand something. I want you to understand that God has never been nor ever will be invented. He is not a product of any sort of imagination. He does not obey trends. And God led us out of Egypt because you people cried out to Him. He was answering your prayers because He is a God of compassion. He could have left you to Satan. Don't complain about the way God answers your prayers. You are still living on an earth that is run by the devil. God has promised us a new land, and we will get there. Your problem is not that God is not fulfilling, your problem is that you are spoiled.

Isn’t life funny that some days you know with confidence that you are the peach, sweet and full of life while on others you suspect with quiet apprehension that instead you are the bruise that is so carefully and meticulously eaten around. -Tyler Knott Gregson-

"love, i beg you, pass me by"
Philomele: This is horrible. It's not Phaedra's fault she loves him.
Tereus: She could keep silent about it.
Philomele: When you love you want to imprison the one you love in your words, in your tenderness.
Tereus: How do you know all this, Philomele?
Philomele: Sometimes I feel the whole world beating inside me.

black does not have to mean you mourn.
today is Sunday. i had church. it was also the Rugby World Cup final.
if things were different, i would have been wearing an All Blacks jersey, sitting at the Rat next to a good man and yelling till i was hoarse. it might be where i’d have rather been today. but sometimes where you’d prefer to be and where you should be are two different places. sometimes what you want and what you...
