Aren’t I the cutest little
animal you’ve ever seen eating?
I know that I’m better
than that nom-nom thing!
Where is my change?
Oh man, come on
I wanna show this hamster
the true meaning of nom-nom!
Have you ever had
one of those dreams
when something wicked’s coming
as you stifle your screams
All you wanna do
is to just get out
but there’s no way to
and you want to shout
As you sneak around
searching where to hide
from room to room
you slip and slide
The wicked thing’s coming
closer and closer too
as your hearts pounding
hard inside of you
Your mind is filled
with so much fear
that you begin to think
the wicked thing will hear
Then your mouth gets
so thick and dry
your lips start to crack
and you want to cry
In the next room
you hear it there
but to take a breath
you don’t even dare
When all the sudden
you are now awake
with your heart thumping
no more can you take
All you think of is
“Was that a nightmare?”
and can’t go back to sleep
’cause it was such a scare?!

Prayer Requests |
Our Lord Jesus will come to you and will show you His consolations, if you will make ready for Him a dwelling place within. All that He desires in you is within yourself, and there it is His pleasure to be. There are between Almighty God and a devout soul many spiritual visitings, sweet inward conversations, great gifts of grace, many consolations, much heavenly peace, and wondrous familiarity of the blessed presence of God.
Thomas Kempis
The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”
Jeremiah 31:3
The New King James Version

Sentiment is shifting sand. You can have warm feelings toward God without faith, you can have feelings of optimism without hope, and you can have feelings of sympathy without love. Our God is not sand; he’s a Rock.
He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.
Psalm 25:9
The English Standard Version
Jesus alone IS; the rest IS NOT.
Today I caught a fairy
falling from the sky
’cause I first thought
it was a butterfly
Yet when I looked
down in my hand
the vision that I saw
was hard to understand
And I said to her
“Fairy, please don’t die
for if you really do
I think I would cry!”
I didn’t believe in magic
and all that kinda thing
although one day I thought
I heard the angels sing
Then butterflies came in
and hovered all around
until that tiny fairy
began to make a sound
As she was stirring
she looked up at me
the fear on her face
I could plainly see
Then she jumped up
and quickly flew away
so I believe in fairies
what else can I say?
