Verse of the Day:
“Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,
for through him God created everything
in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see
and the things we can’t see—
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
Everything was created through him and for him.
He existed before anything else,
and he holds all creation together.”
~Col 1:15-17
Poem of the Day:
“By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dim stream that seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set today a votive stone;
That memory may their deeds redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare,
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.”
~”Concord Hymn” by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lyrics of the Day:
“Something ’bout the way you looked at me
Made me think for a moment,
That maybe we were meant to be
Living our lives separately
And it’s strange that things change
But not me wanting you so desperately
Oh why can’t I ignore it?
I keep giving it in but I should know better
‘Cause there was something ’bout the way you looked at me
And it’s strange that things change
But not me wanting you so desperately
You looked my way and said “you frustrate me”
Like you’re thinking of lines and times
When you and I were you and me
We took our chance out on the street
Then I missed my chance
And chances are it won’t be coming back to me ”
~ “Desperately” by Michelle Branch
