| "In Candyland, the prison made of cake bricks and frosting mortar, prisoners live lives behind bars of candy amounting to a hill of jelly beans, sweetly tempted every moment of their stay. The way out is not so obvious, for if they eat their way out, they'll only be taking their prison with them, and after all the sweetness is gone, all that may have changed is the prison." -Kandi Kane-Forrest |  Living gingerly |

But I know that words will hardly do
Miracles with signs and wonders
Aren't enough for me to prove to you
Don't you know I've always loved you
Even before there was time
Though you turn away
I'll tell you still
Don't you know I've always loved you
And I always will"

| "Sometimes it makes me sad, though... Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend." -Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding |

"But we must not profess the Christian faith and go to church simply because we want social reforms and benefits or a better standard of behavior, but because we accept the sanctity of life, the responsibility that comes with freedom, and the supreme sacrifice of Christ, expressed so well in the hymn, 'When I survey the wondrous cross where the Prince of Glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride'."

4:6-8
“A free bird leaps on the back of the wind
and floats downstream till the current ends
and dips his wing in the orange sun's rays and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage
... can seldom see through his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.”

| "We Christians miss many chances to share the light, love and testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ the Lord, simply because we fail to identify where our lost friends, family and acquaintances are... They may describe lives as beaches, not realizing it's actually a desert, and so instead of telling of Living Water flowing in nearby streams, we describe the grains of sand under their feet; and so they continue their undisturbed stroll toward hell. God be merciful and help us see. And help us do." -Gerry Lepráphett |  |

Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." -Jesus |  |
