I totally attest to my last post..
"God seems most like He doesn't care when He knows most what He cares." - cranberries_empty
Did you know that the value of the Dead Seas Scrolls and the Damascus Letters were virtualized only when the owners decided to auction them?
The Word of God was auctioned.
Jesus was auctioned.
"The Bedouin first took the scrolls to a dealer named Ibrahim 'Ijha in Bethlehem. 'Ijha returned them, saying they were worthless, after being warned that they might have been stolen from a synagogue. Undaunted, the Bedouin went to a nearby market, where a Syrian Christian offered to buy them. A sheikh joined their conversation and suggested they take the scrolls to Khalil Eskander Shahin, "Kando," a cobbler and part-time antiques dealer. The Bedouin and the dealers returned to the site, leaving one scroll with Kando and selling three others to a dealer for £7 GBP ($29 in 2003 US dollars)."
God really seems most like He doesn't care when He knows most what He cares.
Don't give up.
Don't spend one minute thinking that He doesn't care. He is willing to lower His word so that we can approach Him.
"The Older I Get" - Skillet
The walls between
You and I
Always pushing us apart nothing left but scars fight after fight
The space between
Our calm and rage
started growing shorter , disappearing slowly day after day
I was sitting there waiting in my room for you
You were waiting for me too
And it makes me wonder
The older I get
Will I get over it
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I didn't know then it would hurt like this but I think
The older I get
Maybe I'll get over it
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I can't believe it still hurts like this
The time between
Those cutting words
Built up our defenses never made no sense it just made me hurt
Do you believe
That time heals all wounds
It started getting better but it's easy not to fight when I'm not with you
What was I waiting for
I should've taken less and given you more
I should've weathered the storm
I need to say so bad
What were you waiting for
This could have been the best we ever had
[Altro:]
I'm just getting older
I'm not getting over you I'm trying to
I wish it didn't hurt like this
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I can't believe it still hurts like this

God's like "I don't care"
We need more people like them.. In the end, it is all about second chances..
The Last Night is the fourth single of the Christian Rock Band Skillet's seventh full-length album. The song has become a fan favorite for its strong anti-suicide themes and went on to peak at #38 on the Mainstream Rock charts and #16 the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart. R&R magazine counted it as the #1 most played song on Christian CHR Radio stations in 2007.
John Cooper has said that "I just started thinking about how these kids are hurting so badly and that maybe I could sing a song that they can relate to." Korey has stated that one of the most shocking things to the band as they were touring was the number of fans who admitted to them that they were cutters or suffered from depression and so they wrote the song to tell people that they were not alone in their struggles.
"Rebirthing" is a song by the Christian rock band Skillet, and it is the first single off their seventh album Comatose. The song has achieved a large amount of popularity in both the mainstream and Christian radio. The song was #1 on ChristianRock.Net's Weekly Top 30 for sixteen straight weeks, #3 on their Annual Top 100, and was the most requested song of the year in 2006. The song also charted at #9 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart.
John Cooper explained the meaning of the song to theskilletsizzle.com; "in the end, it's just a song about second chances and I think we're living in a time now where a lot of people don't think that they deserve a second chance. You know, whether that's a second chance at life, or at a relationship, or when they think they've screwed something up too bad. And in this song it's basically saying it's never too late to start all over again, it's a message of hope and a lot of people aren't feeling very hopeful these days in our world."
John Cooper has stated on numerous occasions that he was born and raised in a very religious family and atmosphere. "You couldn't wear black, you couldn't listen to anything with drums, anything with guitars, you couldn't have long hair, you couldn't do this and you couldn't do that. Everything was so lifeless. I know I'd read the Bible and be like...'This isn't what the Bible says. I like the idea of living for Jesus, but I hate the idea of living for you.' Ya know?" (Creation Festival 2010, YLO Interview)
During a 2010 Creation Festival YLO Interview, John revealed that "early on, we decided we would never have kids on the road. We were not going to do it. And then God spoke to us later, just showing that God can change our minds, right? So then God starts speaking to me about kids, and I was like "Really? But we made a decision NOT to do it." and God's like "I don't care." So...that's how that happened! It was a big shock, because we were really against that, but then again we didn't know that Skillet would be going this long. I didn't know that I'd be 35 and still doing this."

Integrity is always the easiest, the toughest, the shortest, the longest seed you can always demonstrate.
It's all about humanity, humility, and integrity. - Debra Wilson
With humanity, you get observation.
You can never identify with what you never gone through.
Like a God who chooses a Man status.
Admit it or not. God wants to save humanity. He identifies and then reveals the God-Man status as the solution.
But without becoming Man, there is no one way or the other.
With humility, you get resourcefulness.
You can never stretch if you never see your own lack.
Jesus didn't go around telling others that He was going to go perform miracles everyday.
Admit it or not. He just pull in from the Word and acted.
With integrity, you get a future.
Trust can only be built on integrity.
People get desperate and wicked-hearted when integrity is lost.
Admit or not.

The elections are seriously lacking in these fields if only they knew.
They rallied one another for lack of observing the real problem.
They rallied one another for lack of resourcefulness.
They rallied one another for lack of future.
When actually, they need to build humanity.
When actually, they need to build humility.
When actually, they need to build integrity.

"Walk" - Foo Fighters
A million miles away
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return
I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Do you remember the days
We built these paper mountains
And sat and watched them burn
I think I found my place
Can't you feel it growing stronger
Little conqueror
I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Now
For the very first time
Don't you pay no mind
Set me free again
You keep alive a moment at a time
But still inside a whisper to a liar
To sacrifice but knowing to survive
The first to find another state of mind
I'm on my knees, I'm waiting for a sign
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I'm on my knees
I never wanna die
I'm dancing on my grave
I'm Running through the fire
Forever, whatever
I Never wanna die
I Never wanna leave
I'll Never say goodbye
Forever, whatever
Forever, Whatever
I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough
