Please checkout Charlibear, talljake poems. They and have a passionate love for Him. Magenta has wonderfully inspired illustrated scriptural verses.

I just read your testimony. Certainly few have suffered as you have. A lot of things that seem bad that have happened to you have driven you to be a person that loves Him and you Him. Compared to you, my life has been a dream. Many of the holy ones had very hard lives and many became martyrs...

Probably most people think we are odd ducks. I am an odd duck.,.or worse, but i am His odd duck and he loves me extremely. Much better to be His fool than the enemy’s.

I think we are all very unique. He is not far away. I think there are others that are far closer than I am, but for whatever it’s worth: 1. I have felt the presence of God in worship, and continue to know of this presence sometimes in worship. It doesn’t hurt a bit to worship all the time and...
