Turnstile

I love this song.
Turnstile by Danyew.
I love it for the music and the lyics.

Definition of Turnstile: A turnstile, also called a baffle gate, is a form of gate which allows one person to pass at a time. It can also be made so as to enforce one-way traffic of people, and in addition, it can restrict passage to people who insert a coin, a ticket, a pass, or similar. Thus a turnstile can be used in the case of paid access (sometimes called a faregate when used for this purpose), for example public transport as a ticket barrier or a pay toilet, or to restrict access to authorized people, for example in the lobby of an office building.

Let Your Kingdom Come

by Aaron Ivey

Give us a love for peace
Move us to brokenness
Our generosity
release from poverty
Your Kingdom here and now
To the least of these
Distribute what we have
That all may taste and see

Let Your Kingdom come
Let Your will be done
And all the Earth will say
And echo angels’ praise
That You are God

So, let the sick run free
The orphan find her home
The captured man will know
Release from slavery
Your Kingdom here and now
To the least of these
Distribute what we have
That all may taste and see

Let Your Kingdom come
Let Your will be done
And all the Earth will say
And echo angels’ praise
That You are God

We pray and ask for hope
We pray and ask for peace
We pray and ask for justice
We pray and ask for You

I bolded my favorite parts of the song. I love the promise in the chorus. I reminds me of Romans 15:20-21. I have a lot of lame/sweet memories tied into that piece of scripture, but it's still an amazing promise. I feel like the words of this song call for us to be active.. to go.. to give.. to pray.. until we are bone dry even.. because even when we feel bone dry and empty, as if we have nothing, if we are following our awesome Father we have everything we could ever really want or need (2 Corinthians 6:3-10).

Read Psalm 65 & 66. I like the psalms that are all about thanks and testimony of someone set free of guilt.

I'm pretty sure a rock got sucked up my fish tank filter tube..
Sunshine (Nig) eats a lot faster than Trigger.
I think Trigger is an older gentleman.

Tonight was night #1 of running. It felt REALLY good.

I miss my best friends :]
