Wise Words on Wednesday: Not fearful of the night

Though my soul may set in darkness,
Sarah Williams, The Old Astronomer
it will rise in perfect light.
I have loved the stars too fondly
to be fearful of the night
"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine

Though my soul may set in darkness,
Sarah Williams, The Old Astronomer
it will rise in perfect light.
I have loved the stars too fondly
to be fearful of the night


“To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.”
Thomas Paine

At several points I have thought I have lost my wallet and in those moments I’ve always thought “Wait! What was actually in my wallet? What do I have to replace?!”
Today I thought I’d leave myself a little note of everything currently in my wallet…

Some videos I found helpful in anticipation of my own wedding night…
This is the story of a runaway
With no way home and no way out
I threw the best of me away
I had my chance, it’s too late now
Too far gone and too ashamed
To think that You’d still know my name
But love refused to let my story end that way
You didn’t wait for me to find my way to You
I couldn’t cross that distance even if I wanted to
You came running after me
When anybody else would’ve turned and left me at my worst
Love moved first
Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh
What kind of grace, relentless grace
Would chase this rebel down
Crawl into this prisoner’s cage
Take my hand and pull me out
You knew I couldn’t make the change
So You became the change in me
And now I live to tell the story
Of the God who rescues
You didn’t wait for me to find my way to You
I couldn’t cross that distance even if I wanted to
You came running after me
When anybody else would’ve turned and left me at my worst
Love moved first
From the throne to the manger
From a manger to the grave
Your cross is the proof
Love made the first move
From a grave meant to keep You
To a stone rolled away
Your cross is the proof
Love made the first move
I remember where You found me
I’m amazed by where I stand
Your cross is the proof
That love made the first move
You didn’t wait for me to find my way to You
I couldn’t cross that distance even if I wanted to
You came running after me
When anybody else would’ve turned and left me at my worst
Love moved first
Oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh
Love moved first
