I think it is simply beautiful for Destiny's Child to release this as their last song together. Don't you think we should do something for all the children out there who are helpless and dying? If we don't, then no one else will. It takes, that one man, than one woman to stand up!

Sandcastles - Max Lucado

Hot sun. Salty air. Rhythmic waves.
A little boy is on the beach.

On his knees he scoops and packs the sand with plastic shovels into a bright red bucket.
Then he upends the bucket on the surface and lifts it.
And, to the delight of the little architect, a castle tower is created.

All afternoon he will work.
Spooning out the moat.
Packing the walls.
Bottle tops will be sentries.
Popsicle sticks will be bridges.
A sandcastle will be built.

Big city.
Busy streets.
Rumbling traffic.
A man is in his office.

At his desk he shuffles papers into stacks and delegates assignments.
He cradles the phone on his shoulder and punches the keyboard with his fingers.
Numbers are juggled and contracts are signed and much to the delight of the man,
a profit is made.

All his life he will work.
Formulating the plans.
Forecasting the future.
Annuities will be sentries.
Capital gains will be bridges.
An empire will be built.

Two builders of two castles.
They have much in common.

They shape granules into grandeurs.
They see nothing and make something.
They are diligent and determined.
And for both the tide will rise and the end will come.

Yet, that is where the similarities cease.

For the boy sees the end while the man ignores it.
So, one is prepared and one isn't.
One is peaceful while the other panics.
As the waves near, the wise child jumps to his feet and begins to clap.

There is no sorrow.
No fear.
No regret.

He knew this would happen.
He is not surprised.
And when the great breaker crashes into his castle and his masterpiece is sucked into the sea, he smiles.

He smiles, picks up his tools, takes his Father's hand, and goes home. =)

"Romeo" in Romeo and Juliet act 1, sc. 1 by William Shakespeare

Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken.

- William Shakespeare

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.

- William Shakespeare

My love is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.

Majesty (Here I am) - Delirious

Verse 1:
Here I am humbled by Your Majesty
Covered by Your grace so I'm free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb

Pre-chorus:
Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since You laid down Your life
The greatest sacrifice

Chorus:
Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed, but alive in Your hands
Majesty, Majesty
Forever I am changed by Your love
In the presence of your Majesty

Verse 2:
Here I am humbled by the love that You give
Forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand, knowing that I'm your desire
Sanctified by glory and fire
