Wow, simply amazing.

I've been reading The Glorious Appearing the last two or three days. That would be the 12th book in the Left Behind series. And I must say, wow-ee, that's some book. It's like way better than all of the previous books, but that's probably because this one is about the end, when Jesus finally comes. Unlike the others, with all of the good guys dying and the antichrist basically doing whatever he wanted amidst the many wraths of God, this is the part in Revelation and Daniel and various other prophecies when Jesus shows up in the clouds and takes everyone down. I was afraid they might not get Jesus right in hisspeech or something like that, but they did a great job. He pretty much said nothing but scripture, but it was all together, and it all started really doing something. Something in there hit me hard at times too. It was just so wonderful. Awesome, awesome book.

Mmmm.

I've been listening to my Buffy: Radio Sunnydale cd that I just bought t'other day and I must say that I absolutely love this song by Sarah McLachlan called Prayer of Saint Francis. It's the song that they play at the end of the season finale of season six, and tis just wonderful.

Lord make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
And where there is sadness, joy.

O divine master grant that I may
not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love
For it is in giving that we receive-
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
And it's in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
