Scared of death, you say? Maybe you wish to live forever? Perhaps you are missing the point of death, my friend. What is life without it? If you live like you're going to die tomorrow, truly live, then you will never really die. You become a part of this world, and will live as long as it does. If you live like you're never going to die, you may as well be dead. Death is a privilege, and you should learn to love it now, or fear it forever. ↗

There's a light shining in him, moving him forward: the light of freedom. That's what draws all of us to follow, to take risks, to keep on fighting when we see our comrades fall beside us. But there's no light without shadow. ↗

Change is in the air. This change reminds us that we are made and beautifully sculpted by the same power that orchestrates the change of season. Let this be the season you embrace and align yourself with this change. ↗

Prayer is like water - something you can't imagine has the strength or power to do any good, and yet give it time and it can change the lay of the land. ↗
