See Et Al.

Et al. is a scholarly abbreviation meaning "and others." Seattle, and the surrounding area is flled with many others, whose souls are of the same creator, but whose minds are so different from those fiery Texans who so fiercely run from the truth.

Sharing with my mother and her favored company is mind boggling. The conversation loops in strands with new words, but unaltered meaning. They seem to accept the absolutes of God's person, but then delude them until He is nothing short of an inspirational story, relevant only those who prefer the name Jesus above any of the other seemingly suffiecent titles for good luck deities.

I found that my words were lost, except for these ; to my creator, my maker, my intensely powerful God who sets the times in His hands and yet graciously waits and has mercy on those who so boldly deny Him. Oh potter, make malleable their hearts, and bring them unto Yourself.


They have trained themselves not to doubt,
For doubting is their sin,
"We must never allude to the attitude of the
discontentment that lies within."

They struggle in secret, while their bodies
grow weak,
A hidden illness for the outwardly brave
While they die alone, no one suspects a thing
Just that they found their home amid their cave.

What do I say? For I can not change
I have no words, I fear
It is only the voice f the Holy One,
Which can turn their distant ear.

How dare I think that it rest in my hands,
I've never been one to convince,
But on my knees I will trust in Thee,
For it is with You that their hearts will commence.
