BLINK

Snippet
The story of life is quicker then the blink of an eye, the story of love is hello, 
goodbye. Jimi Hendrix
Scripture
If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing 
but the creaking of a rusty gate.  If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all 
his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says 
to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing. If I give 
everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, 
but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, 
and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 MSG
Song
Relient K - Don't Blink
Don't know where to go from here
My thoughts are tangled, twisted fears
Been waitin' a while now on the dawn
Seems like the sun may never come
I made my way through the darkest night
To the break of day on the other side
For some time the light's been creepin' in
Now I'm feelin' like I could trust again
You're the only person who reminds me
Love is beautiful and true
Life is beautiful and new
You're the only person who reminds me
Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone
I've been terrified of life for way too long
Oh no now don't you blink or it's gone
In another life who knows what we'd become?
Love is beautiful and true
Life is beautiful and new
Been making plans and drawing maps
I plan to take the righteous path
And hope and pray it leads me back
To all the happiness I had
Been making lists and crossing off
Every kiss that wasn't love
And every word that stretched the truth
Like when she said she loved me
You're the only person who reminds me
Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone
I've been terrified of life for way too long
Oh no now don't you blink or it's gone
In another life who knows what we'd become?
Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone
Hold on now don't you blink or it's gone
In another life who knows what we'd become?
Love is beautiful and true
Life is beautiful and new
Been making lists and crossing off
Every kiss that wasn't love
And every word that stretched the truth
Like when she said she loved me
Sentence Prayer
Eternal God,
Grant to us this day and every day
Such readiness and delight in following Christ.
That whether our lives are short or long
We shall have lived abundantly.

Amen
