Thoughts for the Day

"Fight for us, O God, that we not drift numb and blind and foolish into vain and empty excitements. Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst. Heaven is too great, hell is too horrible, eternity is too long that we should putter around on the porch of eternity." ~ John Piper

I found this quote amazing and wanted to also put a song below that hit me pretty hard when I heard it.

Well, it looks like five thousand miles broke the camel's back

But it's not as though i had a plan to win you back

Because i don't know what i want

But at least i know that much

Now I'm afraid love came right up

And it slapped me in the face, but i did not know

'Cause love is different than you'd think

It's never in a song or on a TV screen

And love is harder than a word

Said at the right time and everything's alright

Love is different than you think

So I won't expect a postcard from Trafalgar Square

But I'd be lying if i said I didn't care

Because you can't just turn it off

And put a blindfold on your heart

But i'm off to a good start

A continent away, but i do not know

But maybe you're the dream i'm waking from

'Cause I see you everywhere I go

Darlin' you are such a mystery to me, you know
