Amaranth
by Nightwish
Baptised with a perfect name
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself
War between him and the day
Need someone to blame
In the end, little he can do alone
You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give
Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Apart from the wandering pack
In this brief flight of time we reach
For the ones, whoever dare
You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give
Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Reaching, searching for something untouched
Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling
Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak
Today as you must know is August 31... I hate today. Hate the fact that August isn't over, why so long! I was looking forward to September 1st because nightmail would update and I could read it and all would be right in the world. I also hate today because I had to get up early to avoid bad traffic and arrive on time for my eight o'clock class (being a commutting student is hard on me) ... my next class isn't until one, and I am painfully bored. On the brightsdie (I don't wish to mope all day) I will meet Kateri for lunch and get to chat with her, the weekend is rapidly approaching which may mean more work but it also means that I'm closer to seeing all my friends again. Also, I put up lyrics and they vex me but they cheer me up so, I don't mind that I don't completely understand them yet...
Today was my first day of class at Belhaven. I arrived five minitues late for my first class... I wasn't scolded but it probably didn't leave a good first impression... I Civ. we are studying God as Creator, His Sovereignty, and his right to judge man kind. Okay, I've been in church all my life I shouldn't struggle with this should I right? Wrong. I struggle with a lot that has been taught and my mother believes me to be "secularized" (Whatever). All I really want is to see the evidence for myself and not just believe because my teacher put it on a sheet of paper, therefore I am looking this stuff up on the advised sites that my professor has given us to look at.... most of what I struggle with isn't that the theory of evolution is wrong but statements about natural selection. Originally, I did not agree with evolution I believe that there are too many flaws to the theory but natural selection I believed, to an extent, possible...
Upon looking up the mans arguements on one statement: Natural selection has severe logical inconsistencies. I found this a statement: If we all come from the same ancestor, we would all be murderers and cannibals by the simple act of killing a cow. I chuckled to myself and though "This man has a point and since God allows us to eat meat I suppose that we have no relation to him at all... His statement does make since." Imagine if people who subscribe to the theory of evolution came across this thought, would they in fact all become vegetarians? Probably not and theoretically that would make them murderers... an interesting point of view... Just a few thoughts from today; I have to go back to my homework.
