A Man's Right(You might have noticed this post was edited. I let my emotions write and I don't think it was a good thing. Too much info. Sorry. That type of writing won't happen again, in case you had the misfortune of reading it earlier.)
Lest it should be possible that any unchildlike soul might, in arrogance and ignorance, think to stand upon his rights against God, and demand of Him this or that after the will of the flesh, I will lay before such a possible one some of the things to which he has a right . . . . He has a claim to be compelled to repent; to be hedged in on every side: to have one after another of the strong, sharp-toothed sheep dogs of the Great Shepherd sent after him, to thwart him in any desire, foil him in any plan, frustrate him of any hope, until he come to see at length that nothing will ease his pain, nothing make life a thing worth having, but the presence of the living God within him.

A Man's Right
I've made a habit the last week or so to read George MacDonald before bed until something touches my heart.

I know you like music...and I heard a song that I think you might like by a band called "The Fray"...here are the lyrics...
Heaven Forbid
Twenty years it's breaking you down, now that you understand there's no one around.
Take a breath, just take a seat, your falling apart and tearing at the seams.
Heaven forbid you end up alone and don't know why
Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you'll be alright
It's on your face, is it on your mind, would you care to build a house of your own.
How much longer, how long can you wait, It's like you wanted to go and give yourself away.
Heaven forbid you end up alone and don't know why
Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you'll be alright
It feels good. Is that reason enough for you.
It feels good. Is that reason enough for you.
Heaven forbid you end up alone and don't know why
Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you'll be alright
Heaven forbid you end up alone and don't know why
Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you'll be alright
Out of this one
Don't know how to get you out of this one, don't know how to get you out of this one,
Don't know how to get you out of this one, don't know how to get you out of this one.
Keep smiling, Erin. I've got you in my thoughts, as awkward as that may seem.
