The Wheel of Time

"Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder's eye on the Last Day." (pg. 170, The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan)

I have been re-reading the Wheel of Time series. Book 11 the Knife of Dreams comes out next October. I realized that I wanted to venture back in the series so I would know what has been happening. This series of books is massive but most Fantasy nuts enjoy long books.

I liked the quote above, because it reminded me that that is the same determination we have to take up in our Christian walk. Sometimes the Dark One throws everything plus the kitchen sink at you, but you need to stand firm in the day of evil. Ephesians exorts us to put on the full Armor of God so we would not be destroyed by the Dark One of this reality.

I think modern Christians need some of the Aiel in them. We have to remember who our enemy is and to give the last full measure of our devotion in his defeat.

Golden Sunset

Sunset Golden on late fall leaves.

The Beauty of God's creation is plain compared to any son of adam or daughter of eve.

God loves us so.

We are all fallen Kings.

The Pack

There I was innocently eating my turkey sandwich, and I looked up and there they were walking by.

The Pack

You know the cool kids, the popular kids, the kids with all the power. For a moment I was transformed back to the gawky teenage nerdish bookworm I was.

I hated them instantly.

They walked by me without even knowing I was there.

I am a 32 year old man that is married and is the president of a buisness, and all of a sudden when I saw The Pack I felt like a nothing. There is something about being teased and being an outcast most of your life that does something to you. I have not yet come to grips with all it means in my life.

I realize that all of my friends are older than I am, some substantially older. I realize that I have no friendships from High School or College. I realize that I just plain don't like most people who are my age or younger.

Interesting Huh?
