MORE ENTERTAINMENT...









these are a mix of bryson's shots and my own. some are included for pure entertainment and 100% non-artistic value... and others are a little creative.

OHHHHH, BRYSON.






bryson was playing with rex (aka the camera), and he got some GREAT shots. no lie. i'm actually very impressed, and almost jealous of his skills.

TO US.





I see you down there everyday
trying to find a different way
to build some kind of ladder to the sky
trying to find some way to see
the secrets of eternity
and they don't come all at once and you don't know why

how do you think it feels to hear you screaming out My name
while all the while I'm trying to open up your heart
I see you when you cry yourself to sleep
it's tearing Me apart

I know you wish you could see Me
that's the way it has to be
someday you will understand
but don't you lose your faith in Me

I know you wish you could hear Me
sometimes it's so hard to do
but every morning sunrise says
I'm madly in love with you
yes I'm madly in love with you

I know that you're waiting for
a chance to come in from the war
if only a moment, if only a day
a place where you feel safe and warm
a sanctuary from the storm
until all of these questions fade away

but I cannot count on all the signs
you've passed as mere coincidence
and I'm running out of ways to break through
like a lonely lover waiting by the ocean
I'll never give up on you

I know you wish you could see Me
that's the way it has to be
someday you will understand
but don't you lose your faith in Me

I know you wish you could hear Me
sometimes it's so hard to do
but every morning sunrise says
I'm madly in love with you
yes I'm madly in love with you
yes I'm madly in love with you
yes I'm madly in love with you

PROOF.



nothing compares to Your love.

i often find myself asking You to reveal Your love to me. sometimes i don't get it. sometimes i don't feel it. but when i sit back and set aside my fleeting, unfaithful feelings... i realize that You are crying out. that Your love is not a subtle whisper.

the proof is around me.

sunrises. flowers. sunsets. people. music. Messiah. You are crying out the truth and reality of Your love to us. it is not a tame, hidden love. but a wild, passionate one not to be kept silent.

"for your Maker is your husband--the Lord Almighty is his name--the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer--he is called the God of all the earth."

MMMM.



The grasslands of the desert overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness.

PRECIOUS & HONORED.




since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life.
