We were born to make manifest the Glory of God."

"Batter my heart, three...Expand for more
-personed God; for you
As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;
That I may rise and stand, oâerthrow me, and bend
Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.
I, like a usurpt town, to another due,
Labor to admit you, but oh, to no end;
Reason, your Viceroy in me, should defend,
But is captived, and proves weak or untrue.
Yet dearly I love you, and would be loved fain,
But am betrothed unto your enemy.
Divorce me, untie or break that knot again;
Take me to you, imprison me, for I
Except you enthrall me never shall be free,
Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me."
~ John Donne
"I donât believe in new beginnings because we canât leave our stories behind and start brand new ones. We carry what weâve experienced into each new day.

May we all have them and be able to look back well at the chapters in the past and say to ourselves, 'So that happened'.â ~ Josh Longbrake
