Anywhere Anyway

I’m human here, I’m human there,
I am human everywhere!
Makes no difference what skin I’m in,
Matters not who is my kin,
Looking goth or glam or status quo;
I’m still human where-‘er I go!
I am old, I am young,
I am pro- or anti- gun.
I am sick, I am well;
I am quiet, I sometimes yell;
Sometimes some will even say
I am surely on my way
Up to Heaven or going straight to Hell!
But only God and time will tell.
This one thing I am most sure;
It is true, it will endure:
We’re each unique, yet all the same;
We are human, we have a name;
We’re not numbers, ideas, or things;
We are sacred human-beings.
Matters not our vocation;
Matters not our location:
In or out of mother’s womb
From conception unto tomb,
We are human, we are sacred.
Stop the killing, stop the hatred.
On this side, or on that,
East, west, south, north on the map,
We are human, we are sacred.
Stop the killing, stop the hatred.

(Another Seuss-esque From-the-desk
of one who would say
love each other
anyway.)

This Is Only A Test

This is just an experiment. I’m wanting to remember/rediscover what it’s like to use the QuickPress feature.

Experiment w/ WMP

This is a try at embedding/copying a WMP from someone else’s Live Space into this blog module which I will publish to my own Live Space and then see if it plays… One more attempt at using WMP w/in Live Space!!!

Ok, first of all, I can’t find anyone w/ a working WMP on their Live Space!

That you may not grow weary and lose heart.

Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith.  For the sake of the joy that lay before Him He endured the cross, despising its shame, and has taken His seat at the right of the throne of God.  Consider how He endured such opposition from sinners, in order that you may not grow weary and lose heart.  In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood.

~~ Hebrews 12:1-4

This is one of my favorite scriptures.  I like knowing that the “cloud of witnesses,” the faithful in Heaven, are encouraging me in “running the race.”  But best of all, I adore Jesus, and how wondrous it is that we MAY gaze at His Face, let alone be called to keep our eyes fixed on Him!  Praise be You, Lord!  Blessed be Your Holy Name!  Thank You that I make seek Your Face, and that I am held w/in Your Hand!  Solo Dei Gloria!
