Sensitized

I wasn't so sure that I'd heard him right...he pays to watch beheadings? John Piper...pastor, author, theologian, role model...searchs out the net for what? He claims it is to keep him sensitized to pain & suffering that is so prevalent in our world. He even went so far as to urge others in the room there that nite to do the same.

"I've got the site to go to if you want it..."

J.P. blew me away that nite...this pic blew me away this nite...

My heart breaks over this devastation...my prayer is that yours does as well.



Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone.
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone.
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum.
Bring out the coffins, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message they are Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves.
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

Each were someone's North, South, East and West.
Their working week and Sunday rest.
Their noon, their midnight, their talk, their song;
We thought that love would last forever: we were wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun.
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
