what is your truth?


veritas liberabit vos. the truth shall set you free.

truth is that coming up for fresh air when you are drowning in a sea of lies.
truth is that relief you'll get when the weight of all the masks and facades is taken off your shoulders.
truth is that clear note that resounds from deep within when all the other noises are silenced.

it is black or white, no hint of gray.
no lofty explanations and justifications.
simple. clear. uncomplicated. truth.

don't you want truth in your life?

Be REAL


there is something about fakeness that leaves one empty. there is something about anger nicely wrapped up in "passion" and "industry" that makes one tired and burned out. when you are all alone, in the middle of the night, without all the sparkling lights and eyes watching, who are you?

=o=o=o=

Grima Wormtongue: Oh, but you are alone. Who knows what you have spoken to the darkness, alone, in the bitter watches of the night, when all your life seems to shrink, the walls of your bower closing in about you, a hutch to trammel some wild thing in?

submission. authority.



when you choose to align yourself with the very people God has placed as authority over your life, you have saved yourself from the very death these people have experienced and this allows you to do the greater things Jesus said. someone else died for you. this is the essence of submission. this is the essence of authority.
