Can You?

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

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?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
