Can You?

A poem covering the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.

16
Can You?
Ramblin' Rose

Can you hear the hands of soldiers

Falling on His face?

Can you feel the love of God,

Do you know His grace?

Can you hear the cracking whip

Falling on his back?

Can you see my Lord's bruises

Turning blue and black?

Can you hear the crowd calling

Saying "Crucify the Lord!"

Can you hear the cries of Jesus

As he fell to Roman sword?

Can you hear Jesus' voice

As on the cross He dwell?

Can you hear the cries of pain

Each time the hammer fell?

Can you hear the giant stone

Sealing up His grave?

Can you hear the cries of Mary

As there her dear Lord laid?

Can you hear the stone landing

After being cast away?

Can you hear the awestruck Thomas,

As his hands on Jesus lay?

Can you hear the believing voices

As they shout in victory?

Can you hear the voice of the Lamb

That died for you and me?

Can you hear the Roman Soldiers

Shocked by Jesus' life?

Can you hear the Jewish leaders

Slipping through their strife?

Can you see the Son and Lamb

At the right hand of God?

Can you hear the voice of Christians

As His lifted name they laud?

Can you hear the falling Romans

As they bow on bended knee?

Can you see the Lamb of God,

Who died for you and me?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
