If science fiction interests you at all, I’d recommend “Station Eleven” by Emily St. John M…[Read more]

@mrs-hittle – how can you edit a post.  I replied to a thread and there are some errors I’d like to correct in it.  Thanks.

These lyrics from “Light of the World” by Lauren Daigle moved me to tears every time I listened to it spoke to a hope that I have longed for this year.  Rather than the whole song (which is all amazing), I’ve posted my favourite parts.

The world waits for a miracle

Since the first time I heard this song, and for hundreds of more listens, I am haunted by these lyrics by Tracy Chapman.

Why

When there’s enough food to feed the world
Why when there are so many of us
Are there people still alone

Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they’re aimed to kill

This one comes from a mystery book, but something about it spoke to me. How often do I have a longing that cannot be fulfilled yet I do not turn to a difference choice.

“Hungry”, she said, “That’s what it’s like. Inside of me, always.  This … hunger that nothing is able to assuage.  It’s horrible.  It’s why I always feel … well, empty.  I…[Read more]

“You have to imagine
a waiting that is not impatient
because it is timeless”
– R.S. Thomas (The Echoes Return Slow)

“God never promised us an easy life. He never promised that we wouldn’t suffer, that we wouldn’t feel despair and loneliness and confusion and desperation.
