Trees
I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. by...
The Eagle Nebula →
Take look at this nebula. So glorious, my mouth was agape for a wee bit.
this object is… a billowing tower of cold gas and dust rising from a stellar nursery called the Eagle Nebula. The soaring tower is 9.5 light-years or about 57 trillion miles high, about twice the distance from our Sun to the next nearest star.
Ghostly streamers of gas can be seen boiling off this surface, creating...

Broken String
by thejeremnator
So troubled on the thought of my midterm I couldn’t study so I proceeded to play How He Loves on my Guitar really loud.
Right in the middle of the chorus my string broke and I was like ….. man…
But i realized that even when things break you don’t stop praising God. You don’t. Instead you sing louder and louder and realize that you don’t need to sound good or even praise...
don't breed hatred in the heart
“ouch!” via eugene kwon when i get hurt, my first, natural, and instantaneous reaction is to protect myself and to fight back. if it’s a stubbed toe, i kick whatever i tripped on (with the other foot). if it’s a punch in the ribs that was a little too hard, i shove the guy who hit me. if it’s a cruel word or a broken promise, i spew angry words - some under my breath, some not...
some practical life lessons
1) take care of your back. bad posture = no bueno 2) don’t waste your money buying useless stuff. it takes up unnecessary space, you’ll go through trouble getting rid of it later, and you’ll wonder in annoyance at what you were thinking you bought it in the first place. 3) complete tasks/forms as they come, in a timely fashion. it’s a pain to procrastinate and keep track of...
a tuesday
-Lord please keep me grounded -Thank you for your blessings: scores, weather, family, food, clothing, shelter, books -new found site: Grain & Gram (geez, love the photography, layout, typography, design, everything. so spot on. niched out!), via RIFLE paper co. -listening to Charlie Lim - excellent voice. and that first song (There Is No Love) blows me away! The soul/guitar/voice kind of...
free
(via sheandhercat) amen, we are free from our sins and our old way of life. praise God for the new life he’s given us, one that will never run dry!
I don't want
to base my identity on parental praise, a nice wardrobe, a pretty hairstyle, who I associate with and what they say about me or to me. Lord, I want to hear who I am from you. You created the universe and its galaxies, the brilliant billions of stars (upon gazillions). You hold artists’ hands and guide their brushstrokes to create beautiful masterpieces. You paint a sunset each night, its...
