Post #100

 Somewhat of a landmark, eh?  Not really, I suppose.  It's only been a few months, but still, I consider #100 to be important.

I guess I'll share two things with you, combined together, which just seems to make sense to me.  The first part is from a poem, the second part is from a hymn.  Parts of the former were used before in this journal.  Enjoy.

O, intense is the agony
When the eye begins to see - When the ear begins to hear;
When the pulse begins to throb - When the brain begins to think again,
When the soul feels its flesh and the flesh feels its chains...

Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray—
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee...


...I just don't know what to do with myself, anymore...
