The heart of a child who looks, sees and listens She paints a picture using every color And what she sees, she sees is like no other [Chorus:] One word, a voice unheard You can change the world With everything I know you're made of One word, a voice unheard You can change the world If everyone would stop and listen The art of innocence make so much sense But placed inthe wrong hands, well then it's wasted Filtered throught he eyes of a pure mind A one-of-a-kind paradise for you and I [Chorus] Break the cycle, find your rhythm Share the gift that you've been given You can You can change the world You can change the world [Chorus (repeat)] "Change the World" by P.O.D.

I like to feel you when it comes to night Now I'm here and I'm all alone Still I know how it feels, I'm alone again Tried so hard to make you see But I couldn't find the words Now the tears, they fall like rain I'm alone again without you Alone again without you Alone again without you I said stay, but you turned away Tried to say that it was me Now I'm here and I've lost my way Still I know how it feels, I'm alone again Tried so hard to make you see But I couldn't find the words Now the tears, they fall like rain I'm alone again without you I tried so hard to make you see But I couldn't find the words Now the tears, they fall like rain I'm alone again without you "Alone Again" by Dokken (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

I
Its now coming up on 3 weeks of not hearing from tiff... I'm guessing I'm supposed to take a hint? I just dont understand it tho.... its like she starts indicating that she wants to get closer to me again and things start working better and then all of a sudden she's just gone... thats it, just plain gone. Not even a "I need to stay away from you" or "its not gonna work" ... its just a disappear and your outta my life thing.... I still have the feeling that God's not done here but I'm so tired of being the only one fighting for what I feel God wants. Honesty is such an important thing to me..... its so hard when someone lies to me.... and its just as hard when someone doesnt want to tell me anything or share something with me that I really need to know.... I feel like this all the time and I hate it.I just want to be happy... I want to have a very happy and healthy relationship... but maybe I'm not supposed to have that and thats why God lets me get burned by the people that mean the most to me? I'm just worn out with all of this.... Lonliness is killing me :( (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |
The good news is that stuff at carpathia seems to be giving some hope and its not a disaster like I thought it was going to be. Will my life ever settle down? Probably not :( (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

First of all, Happy 20th, NES! Personally, I still want to know why I am the only person the remembers R.O.B. Anyway, I really enjoyed this thread from the comments on that page:
And for those of you who dont understand this at all, go play your Sega or whatever it is your playing now-a-days.... but If anyone does remember the E.T. Atari Game, there was a bug in the released software and it ended up that there was no way to complete the game.... nor did there end up being a point to it.

I dont really understand why this idea struck me so heavily.... maybe it's just a way of preparing me for my future as a father.... I dont think this has much bearing on my personal life (I'm sure some may, tho). The book I was reading isnt even focused on that subject.... but it was in there.... and it hit me, so I needed to share it...... I think I may go watch some more TV and continue this day of (hopefully) complete relaxation. (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

I used to be so happy ... when I first moved to VA, I had a great job, a great place to live, and an awesome girl..... and even tho my apartment hasnt changed, the others did.... but then the cost of living set in..... I have alot of good things now such as my friends from my church.... but I'm just not as happy as I was.... maybe it's because of the financial stress.... maybe it's because I was so happy with Tiff and now not only do I not have her, but I dont have anyone. I guess the praise in all of this is that I am not depresed... I'm just sad about the things that I have lost and that I'm being so stressed by people now.... I'm ok.... I'm just not happy, yaknow? Once I had a dream of Tiff and I getting married, Carpathia growing and me making a decent living, having beautiful children and completing my life long goal of being the best father and husband that I could be.... Most of the aspects of that dream are fading away.... the first half of that dream relies on other people to be in sync with my dream.... and that just isnt the case. Thankfully, it is the weekend... I think I'm going over to Kim's tonight and we're gonna hang out (beka, nathan, me, kim, and whoever else is going I guess).... then tomorrow is church.... I'm really glad of that... I wish my church met every day. (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |
At the mercy of the sea It’s been tossed about, lost and broken Wandering aimlessly And God somehow you know that ship is me ’cause there’s a lighthouse, in the harbor Shining faithfully Pouring it’s light out, across the water For this sinking soul to see That someone out there still believes in me On a prayer, in a song I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on Raining down, against the wind I’m reaching out ’til we reach the circle’s end When you come back to me again There’s a moment we all come to In our own time and our own space Where all that we’ve done, we can undo If our heart’s in the right place On a prayer, in a song I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on Raining down, against the wind I’m reaching out ’til we reach the circle’s end When you come back to me again And again I see my yesterday’s in front of me Unfolding like a mystery You’re changing all that is and used to be On a prayer, in a song I hear your voice and it keeps me hanging on Raining down, against the wind I’m reaching out ’til we reach the circle’s end When you come back to me again When you come back to me again "When You Come Back to Me" by Garth Brooks (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |
I'm really not feeling too well today. I dont know whats been going on with me but I just can not sleep.... maybe its just because there is so much on my mind.... I dunno..... I just wish the dream would come true..... (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

Where a mother lost a son How could she know that the morning he left Would be their last time she'd trade with him for a little more time So she could say she loved him one more time And hold him tight But with life we never know When we're coming up to the end of the road So what do we do then With tragedy around the bend? Chorus: We live we love We forgive and never give up Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above Today we remember to live and to love We live we love We forgive and never give up Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above Today we remember to live and to love There is a man who waits for the tests To see if the cancer has spread yet And now he asks, "So why did I wait to live till it was time to die?" If I could have the time back how I'd live Life is such a gift So how does the story end? Well this is your story and it all depends So don't let it become true Get out and do what we are meant to do Chorus Waking up to another dark morning People are mourning The weather in life outside is storming But what would it take for the clouds to break For us to realize each day is a gift somehow, someway So get our heads up out of the darkness And spark this new mindset and start to live life cuz it ain't gone yet And tragedy is a reminder to take off the blinders And wake up and live the life we're supposed to take up Moving forward with all our heads up cuz life is worth living Chorus (to fade) "We Live" by SuperChick (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

Proverbs 14:25 (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |
The kind of faith it takes To climb out of this boat I'm in on to the crashing waves To step out of my comfort zone Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is And He's holding out His hand But the waves are calling out my name And they laugh at me Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed The waves they keep on telling me Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!" "You'll never win!" Chorus: But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!" And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory" Out of all the voices calling out to me I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth Oh what I would do to have The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant With just a sling and a stone Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors Shaking in their armor Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand But the giant's calling out my name And he laughs at me Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed The giant keeps on telling me Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!" "You'll never win!" Chorus: But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!" And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory" Out of all the voices calling out to me I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth But the stone was just the right size To put the giant on the ground And the waves they don't seem so high On top of them lookin' down I will soar with the wings of eagles When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus Singing over me Chorus: But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!" And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory" Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me) I will choose to listen and believe- I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth I will listen and believe I will listen and believe the Voice of truth I will listen and believe Cause Jesus you are the voice of truth And I will listen to you, you are- "Voice of Truth" by Casting Crowns (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |
I don't think I have ever made a statement that strong.... But if anyone follows God and His Word, I can not see how they could recommend that anyone read that book - nor any other by that author. Why do I say this? Its extremely blasphemous. I know the argument most would give me is "its fictional" or "its only fantasty". To that I say: WRONG! Fantasy that has contreversay would be something like Harry Potter. The background behind the author of Harry Potter is of occultic influence but I still may buy the "fantasy" idea. The problem with the Da Vinci code is that it attempts to directly shatter the foundations of Jesus' life. It doesn't outright go against God's Word like fantasy stories but it mixes in true facts to make it easier to swallow the lies. Could you get anyone to swallow cyanide straight? Nope.... But you might sneak it in by adding it to someone's coffee.... That is exactly what the da vinci code is doing... Its a mix that is deadly.... And I don't think anyone should support it. Now I will say I have never read the book but I have just watched a history channel special about it and I felt a drain in my spirit while watching it.... I'm a very accepting person and I don't condem people so if you read and support this book, you will have no condemnation from me.... But I do have to express that I think the da vinci code may be one of the subtle attacks on Christianity that satan loves to use. (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

There is a meeting at work tomorrow that they just scheduled today. I'm pretty anxious about it.... Alot is going on.... entirely too much. I need some relief from all of this... I pray that it comes soon. God is definately taking care of everything but sometimes the human mind can't comprehend that and it creates these overwhelming feelings. I dont know what else I can say... I'm having a hard time putting down in words my feelings right now so I'm just going to ask for everyone's prayers and I will continue trying to relax the rest of the evening.
