I cry out to you from the empty halls of my heart.
And I get echoes.
"Be still and Know that I Am God."
I have questions that long to be answered.
Where have You been?
"Be still and Know that I Am God."
"I have always been here My child.
It is you who has wandered.
Be still and Know that I Am God."
I cry out to You from the halls of my heart
And the echoes are softer.
"To he who knocks, the door will be opened."
I called to you but you didn't answer.
Where were you?
"To he who knocks, the door will be opened.
But you have to come back through,
I won't force you.
To he who knocks, the door will be opened.
I whisper from a full heart
And the warmth overwhelms.
"To him who seeks, he shall find."
Answers are not so important anymore,
As the Presence.
"To him who seeks, he shall find.
Welcome back, My child,
It's been so long.
To him who seeks, he shall find."
Lori Ann Smith

'If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel ."
Benjamin Netanyahu
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
Introduction
"If I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman, and he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows the trumpet and warns the people, then he who hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.... But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his inequity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand." Ezekiel 33:2b-6
I have not been appointed, but I feel the weight of the watchman, because I see the sword coming. How can I not warn the people?
