No more waiting around...

Good things come to those who wait
or so I've heard some say,
But tragedy will be our fate
if we would live this way.

Good things never come to us,
that lie has stood for years,
When good men wait without a move
a vacancy appears.

This void of good that could have been
spreads like a cruel disease,
leaving hearts untouched, alone
and all because we freeze.

Freeze in place awaiting just
the time to know for sure,
if every action will be safe
and every touch will cure.

But we are not let into this,
our place is just to give,
not asking if our plans will fail,
but letting go to live.

Letting go of certainty
with all its gaurantees
Embracing our humanity
and it's complexities.

If we would wait for good to come
then we shall never see,
The shroud removed, the curse undone,
and hearts alive and free.

For good will come to those who go
and make it happen now,
Refusing lies of easy gain,
for plants succeed the plow.

I will never see my vision come true by waiting for lighting to strike in the same place. As a harvest assumes a sowing, a dream assumes a going.

Amen...

After spending so much time these last several months asking God to "tell us" what He wants us to do - we've decided to risk and move ahead, rather than remain paralyzed by His silence. God has always dealt with us this way, leading us once we have begun to move - rather than telling us where to go and what to do...

Pursue the dream - make it happen...

We love you buddy...

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

All that is needed for the forces of evil to triumph is for enough good men to do nothing.

All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

In order for ‘evil’ to prevail, all that need happen is for ‘good’ people to do nothing.

All that is needed for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

The surest way for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

All it will take for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.

All that is necessary for the forces of evil to take root in the world is for enough good men to do nothing.

All that is needed for the forces of evil to succeed is for enough good men to remain silent.

All it takes for Evil to prevail in this world is for enough good men to do nothing.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

(Various forms of Edmund Burke's quote)

I believe that if Mark P. is among our crowd of witnesses, he is saying AMEN right now.

Etou!
