from the inside out.

Is there anyone who
Ever remembers changing their mind from
The paint on a sign?
Is there anyone who really recalls
Ever breaking rank at all
For something someone yelled real loud one time?

Everyone believes
In how they think it ought to be
Everyone believes
And they're not going easily


Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword

Like punching underwater
You can never hit who you're trying for


Some need the exhibition
And some have to know they tried
It's the chemical weapon
For the war that's raging on inside

Everyone believes
From emptiness to everything
Everyone believes

And no one's going quietly
-john mayer



We are not called to be quiet about Jesus. St. Francis said, "Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words." I think our actions speak so much louder than our words. Let's learn to be quick to listen and slow to speak. I want my every step to be guided by Him, so that my lips do not move, but I am screaming His name from within.




"Who do you say that I am?"
-Jesus Christ


Sometimes silence makes sense.
