| The membrane between now and someday is so thinWritten by a friend's friend:
Lord, make me a nomad in this pale world,
Loving more the unseen Dream
In its breathless royal color scheme
That shatters my imagining,
Rather than the present flimsy shadows
That somehow seem more real to me
Under the floodlights of society's appeal
than the beyonder, bolder Truth I trust but cannot see.
Yet how compelling is the thrill
Of finding all the daunting troubles
We used to find concerning
Now absurd in light of this new yearning!
Lord, make me a nomad in this ephemeral place
Where a life like wilting flowers
Changes within seconds from a vibrant being
To a shell that death devours.
Make me unconformed to this world's
gods of "beauty", productivity, and self
the driven-ness to always prove, and win,
and regardless of how rich you are, gain wealth.
Instead, transformed and un-belonging in this temporary skin,
Make me see with heaven-set eyes
Knowing that the membrane between now and someday,
Now and always- is so thin.

Here is a three-minute movie that some friends of mine put together to
compete in a InsomniaFilmFestival sponsored by Apple Macintosh. Take a
look and see what you think! High ratings help it in the whole
competition process, so let them know what you think.
It was filmed, edited, cut, spliced, music was prepared, all in 24
hours. I personally think that they did an amazing job, and I'm sure
you all will enjoy it as well.
Here's the link:

Vote yes!

This is a Christendom goalie. With a ball entering the net by means of a kick by one of ours in a PK shootout after a two-hour soccer game going into double-overtime.
Christendom is no longer our rival!!! =D The game ended with our amazing keeper blocking all three PK's... and Rachel Heflin, Erin Nekvasil, and Kelsey Stapler on our team sunk three amazing shots past the Christendom keeper. Score? 5-2. Exhaustion and exhilaration beyond all measure? Priceless.
