There was something terrible, but also something sad and melancholy in this long cry uttered by the Russian infantry as they staged an attack. As it crossed the cold water, it lost its fervour. Instead of valour or gallantry, you could hear the sadness of a soul parting with everything that it loved, calling on its nearest and dearest to wake up, to lift their head from their pillows and hear for the last time the voice of a father, a husband, a son or a brother... ↗

You see the people you love the way they are in your head but every once in a while you accidentally catch a glimp of them in real time and in those spilt seconds as your brain scrambles to adjust to the new reality small things inside you swerve off the road and drives off a cliff spinning and screaming all the way down ↗

There is no need to speak. I understand each quick impulsive movement of your hand. By some strange magic of the heart, I guess the meaning of each gesture, each caress. Oh, when I reach to take you by the hand, it is because I need to understand that I am not alone in this broad land. ↗

And he has tried to swim that stream, And he swam on both strong and steady, But the river was wide and strength did fail, And never more he'll see his Annie. And woe betide the willow wan, And woe betide the bush and briar, For they broke beneath her true love's hand, When strength did fail and limbs did tire. ↗

First and foremost, God is the true hero of the story. No matter how captivating the other characters may be, our top priority is to discover what the Bible reveals about God. ↗
