What a fabulous old song. For long time lovers.   Lord, only you know real love. We pursue it, but you grant it in its limited capacity in this sin-stained world. Thank you for what you give. Thank you for loving us for real. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.  

      I'm looking forward to it. Aarrgghh! What say you?   Father, you see the hearts of us all. We're all desperate for you even when we fail to realize it. You know my prayers. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.  

              Yes, it's fiction. A short story. A novel. A drama. A comedy. Science-fiction. Fantasy. Make-believe. But it's not only make-believe.

I know this: I highly recommend this well-written book which dispels the myths created…

   Great tune. Great moves. Who cares what he's advertising. Just a pleasure to watch.   Father, you give the talent and gifts. Only you. Thank you. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Or as complicated and strong as Cole "Tox" Russell. These are just a few that have impacted me in my reading. But the truth…

                        Fifth chapter of unfinished novel titled Race: Five Mondays at the track were noticeably laid back.
