The Drums of War

"The drums thunder at the blast of the horn signaling the King's coming, and we ride with him into battle!"

The Drums of War

I hear the thunder in the air above, the quaking in the earth below; it be the sound of the drums of war; the sound of patriotism, the sound of the warrior’s roar!

May my enemies tremble, may they flee at the sound of the drums of war! My heart, regaining it’s strength, stands tall, and unleashes victory’s roar!

Blowing the General’s Horn, my heart unleashes it’s wrath! Guided under the hand of the Son of God, My King, I raise the Spear of God’s wrath!

To the beat of the drums of war, I march to meet my enemy face to face; much to my foes’ disgrace!

Sound the drums of war! My heart is making it’s advance! My enemies quake with fear; they could do nothing but glance.

Riding the Stallion of Victory, the drums intensify as the warrior from within emerges, and charges towards it’s enemy on the battle plains of glory!

To arms my brethren! Sound the drums once more! Awake from your slumber oh my heart, which had been torn by war! Raise the flag of triumph, raise the warrior’s cry, as I trample my enemies underfoot, until all of them die!

Rise oh warriors! The Lord of Hosts has gone ahead of you! Hear the sound of his march in the trees; the quaking of heaven’s drums in the deep! To battle oh my warriors! My heart advances with The Lord of Hosts! Smite your enemies! Look to the hills from whence comes your aid! The Lord of Redemption upon his Stallion of Salvation, his victory has been made!

To the sound of the General’s Horn, rush your foe oh my gallant heart! Conquer Death once and for all, see your enemies; how they fall!

One by one, my enemies meet my blade, thousands by thousands my enemies meet my Lord’s blade! To war my comrades! To battle my allies! Sound the General’s Horn! March in order! March in haste! To the cry of the warrior’s roar! March in rhythm to The Thunder of the Drums of War!

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.
