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."

"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'."

"...I saw a cartoon the other day:
A child is on the road with a bag he's carrying, and a fellow pulls over thinking he's lost.
And he said, 'Uh, what's going on, son?'
He says, 'I'm running away from home. My mom and dad won't mind me anymore.'...

Parents don't mind children; children mind parents. That's the way it's supposed to work."

The Song of Songs
1:7
1 Timothy
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.”

-Maya Angelou

Revelation
5:5-14
"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."
