DEAR YOU!


I wish you knew
Every word I write
I write for you
And I think it’s useless
Because I’m just heartless
This feeling is empty in it’s whole
And this world has grown far too cold
I just desire your warmth
And the whisper of your voice
To replace all the white noise
That crashes in my head
Over and over
A station on repeat
But you can bring it calm
Let me hear your voice again
Give me a reason to feel whole
Let me hear your voice one more time
Just let me know I should be alive
If not for you
Then for who
Give me a reason to take these breaths
That are timid in my lungs
Like the love I have and hate
I want to love you completely
But I can’t free myself
I wish you could help
I know you could help
Make me better
Stay forever
In my heart
In my head
In the dreams that are birthed in the dark
Like the cars stuck in park
And they stay
Even when you’re away
And I wish you knew
How I want you to stay
I need you to be there
I need you to be able to sleep again
I need your completion
I desire your complications

That Midnight Hour


The Virgin Mother kneels upon the floor
And holds her baby in her arm,
Her heart is gladder than her lips can say,
To keep her new born baby snug and warm,
A babe more sweet and fair and dear
Than any rose bud in the bright sunshine,
Whose little eyes look straight into her own,
O, blessed maid, God's son is also thine.
Twas holy midnight, when He came to earth:
As pours a sun ray through a limpid glass,
Not leaving any mark upon its face;
A drop of dew upon the fresh green grass,
A little star that fell upon her lap,
A cooing babe, that seeks her virgin breast.
The hopes of all the sin-cursed world
Upon this baby's eyelids rest.
And ever since the midnight hour is holy,
And millions of human hearts are stirred
To wonderment and love for Him who came,
To save the world, God's own incarnate Word.
He came in darkness, He who was The Light,
His godhead shone from clear blue baby eyes,
The curse of earth's first sin was lifted then,
That midnight hour reopened paradise.

YOU CAN TRUST THE HOLY BIBLE!!!




You can trust the Holy Bible from the first page to the last. You can trust what it says about the future, and what it says about the past.

There really was a Noah, who built an ark with a hammer and a nail. There really was a Jonah, who lived after being swallowed by a whale.

There really was a town called Sodom, destroyed by fire and brimstone from above. And God really did feed the Hebrews with manna, sent to them with love.

There really was a virgin Mary, who conceived Jesus in her womb. And it's true he came to life again, after being buried in a tomb.

It's true Jesus healed the sick, and gave sight to those who couldn't see. It's true he healed the deaf, and walked on the Sea of Galilee.

He healed some who couldn't walk, and raised three persons from the dead. He fed a multitude of people with only two fish and five loaves of bread.

 

The Bible tells us of hell.....a place for those not forgiven of their sin. And it tells us of heaven.....a place Christ's disciples are sure to enter in.

The Bible speaks of many things..... some easy, some hard to understand. But the Bible can be fully trusted, for it came from God's almighty hand.

So, don't pass judgment on the Bible. It's always right, never wrong. For God has given all its contents, and there's not a verse that doesn't belong.

No, don't pass judgment on the Bible. It's God's infallible Word. Just listen to God speak as you read it. You'll be blessed by what is heard.

Don't Go Looking by MATT DUSK

I listen this song every night, this is really touch song! such an awesome song, and Matt Dusk really has a great voice and I like it, *so jazzy* but unfortunately there's no song in youtube, I just find a way to download the mp3 and write down the lyric, but you guys please download it too, I dare you would never regret if you listen it! Enjoy :)

Don’t Go Looking - MATT DUSK

Cry sad tears, then dry your eyes and mend your heart
Life’s too short to waste sweet time, love is gone now you must start
Deep blue eyes smile at you across the room
You say that his brown, and he is not the guy that you once knew

Don’t go looking for, that heart you loved before
You cant replace him with the same kind of face
Don’t dream that sweet old dream. Its not the final scene
Be open to somebody else, someone new.

Change brings fear as clouds will always bring the rain,
But when it finally clears their sun will shine to make it bright again
Let love in, you might feel it deeper still,
But if you hide away, I swear you never will

Don’t go looking for, that heart you loved before
You cant replace him with the same kind of face
Don’t dream that sweet old dream. Its not the final scene
Be open to somebody else, someone new.

Don’t go looking for, that heart you loved before
Be open to somebody else, someone new.
Matt DUSK

Unique antioxidant in coffee associated with dramatic reduction in prostate cancer







Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer for men in the the United States. Other than being male, there are other factors such as age, race, and family history that may contribute to the risk. However, the screening tests for prostate cancer including digital examination and the PSA blood tests have been shown to be not always reliable. This is all the more reason that we need to prevent it.

A new study from Harvard University shows that consuming coffee, whether it be regular or decaffeinated, leads to a dramatic reduction in prostate cancer - and the degree of reduction is related to the amount of coffee consumed. Men who consumed six or more cups per day had a 60 percent lower risk of developing lethal prostate cancer. Those who drank 3 cups a day had a 30 percent lower risk.

So what is it about the coffee? Surprisingly, it's not the caffeine. Coffee contains hundreds of biologically active compounds, including potent antioxidant activity, the most unique antioxidant being methylpridinium. Methylpridinium is found almost exclusively in coffee. It's anticancer properties have been previously noted in colon cancer studies.

Also recently published is a Swedish study which showed women who drank 5 or more cups of coffee a day had a much lower risk of developing a certain aggressive form of breast cancer.

Previous research has shown coffee to be helpful in diabetes, parkinsons disease, heart disease, gallstone disease, liver cancer and cirrhosis.

"We're not yet telling men to drink more coffee," said the Harvard study's lead author, Kathryn M. Wilson, "but there's mounting evidence that if they do, they don't have to worry about it."

Interesting caffeine comparison: One Starbucks grande coffee = 3 cups of generic coffee = 5 cans of Red Bull = 7 cans of Diet Coke = 7 cups of tea.
