Morality in the Wasteland

Storms come and storms go

Where do I stand between the rain and the ground?

Am I the barrier that prevents the grass from receiving nourishment?

Or am I the barrier that prevents the rain from helping a fellow nature element?

When I speak, the thunder rolls

The rolling tide of thunder so great, it makes the hearts of loved ones shake

It makes people listen

It makes the world want to hear me give words of truth

I stand in the gap as if I were Isaiah

And I tell God, "Here am I. Send me."

Send me to do your bidding

Send me to lift the world from its knees

Send me to save the ears of the innocent from lying politicians

Send me to retrieve others from the depths of their sin

Send me to save myself from the skin I'm in

For the flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing

And when I rise up, I know I'll make a killing

My words are not violent, but they are just as strong

Mine enemies will fall to me from one single word, "Jesus"

When I say the name of Jesus, the demons will tremble

There will be tremors in the ground

And their worlds will crack at the weight of their failure

They bring the lightning, but I bring the thunder

Just as rival pirates, we fight for plunder

Silver and gold, two precious treasures

But the amount of either one we have is not what God measures

God measures the heart and it's goodness

God measures the heart to see if His Son is in it

The world constantly changes and drifts

Society is a boat of sailors lost at sea

Society is a lone grass in the desert

Society is a fallen tree in a jungle of standing trees

Society has drifted...

The storms hit and people remained weak

They forgot God and never read the Bible any day of the week

Their clothes were tattered and they complained about not being on fleek

People resorted to alcoholism

Drinking themselves into a alcoholic prison

People resorted to sexual immorality

Passionate sex isn't enough, so masochism makes up for it in totality

People resort to drugs

Crack will crack the minds of those who think that crack will save them from the crack of Hell they're in

People resort to murder

Death caused by hatred, love, and lust, which lead to fatal attractions

Now should I stay between the grass and rain?

Or should I move to ease the world's pain?

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
