This is a verse that I just read this morning. it's from REvelation 7:15-17. Not only does it ring with poetry towards the end, but it shows the awesome fate in store for us.
"They are before the throne of God
and serve Him day and night in His temple;
and He who sits on the throne will pread his tent over  them.  
Never again will they hunger;
never agin will hey thirst.
The sun will not beat upon them,
not any scorching heat
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
He will lead them to springs of living water.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."


 

Okay, some people might not like this, but I figure, if they don't, they can just not read my diary! hey, imagine that. So, I'm going to attempt to post a daily bible Verse online. Why put this on a fantasy page? Because my religion inspires me. I have no idea why my religion inspires me to draw elves and faeries and dragons, but it does. And then you all get to know me a little better, which is the whole idea right?

so, for starters this i my favorite verse in the entire bible: written by the prophet Isaiah, who also wrote the most well known prophecies of the Messiah, Isaiah 40:31.
"but those that hope in the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not grow weary, they shal walk and not be faint."
I think most people in the fantasy world can relate to longing for wings. How cool would it be to spread your mighty pinions and plunge off a mountaintop and soar "on the winds back." It's such an amazing promise.

Come Thou Fount of every Blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy praise.
Streams of mercy never ceasing
call for Songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise His name, I'm fixed upon it,
Name of God's redemming love.

Hither to, thy love has blest me.
Thou hast brought me to this place.
And I hope thy hand will lead me
safely home by thy good grace.
Jesus sought me when a stanger
wandring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Bought me with His precious blood.

Oh, to Grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be.
Let thy goodness, like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I Love.
Here's my heart, Lord, Take and Seal it.
Seal it for thy courts above.


this is my favoite hymn, though I usually sing a rather upbeat arrangment. It has been running around my head since church this morning. Those are always great days, when you have a wonderful song in your head.
God Bless!

why am I here? I have so much Latin homework, I should just lock my computer up in a safe to keep me away from it. oh, well. It'll get done somehow. 
I love Five Iron Frenzy!!! Go Christian Sca!
"rain falls like laughter from the sky." favorite song!

Life is so wonderful. I had just a really awesome day yesterday. Met some amazing new people, had fun in my classes, spent time with lots of cool friends, actually joined the archery club, read a good book. oh, and then I had a very long and amazing talk with one of my long time best friends. I love you, Yoda! not that he's going to read this or anything. hehe.
yes, God is good, and life is fun.
Spread the joy, peps!
God Bless!

Snow is fun.
Rain is wet, and often dismal.
Slush, is the bane of mankind!!!

Yes, the wonderful snow that was here yesterday, has turned to slush, so sad. Worst of all, it made me late for Latin! grrrr.

This is indeed one of those sad days in which I wish to God that I was truly an Elf, and could not only walk on top of the snow, but also that I couldn't feel cold. As it is, I'm glad for coats and gloves. I need to go do my reem of Latin homework so I can work on Terramorn some more.
God Bless!
or, as we say in Gondolin, i Chir hebin a galu pan!
