Meaning

There are those times in life when you step back from the struggle and you decide whether the thing your fighting for is actually worth the fight. What makes someone worth the fight? is it their talent, their character, their feelings, actions, words.... or is it something outside of who someone is and about what someone means?  if we cant determine what someone means to us, we cant endure hardships that come along with companionship.  When i step back and i see all thats around me that is pushing me towards and pulling me from i have to be sure of the thing that stands in the middle. Of the person that stands in the middle.  sometimes the fight is a fight for a reason and sometimes its a drawn out let down. But either way if someone means something to you , you have to fight for that meaning.  Life is full of people who wont mean anything to you, but there are those who make up enough meaning for the rest of them.

lasting relationship?

in life we spend all our time pouring into relationships w. other ppl. but when we die our relationships die w. us. you cant advance in a relationship once youre dead. if you refuse to build your relationship w. God while on earth, all relationship dies w. you along with any oppurtunity to have a relationship. but if you spend your time on earth building upon your relationship w. God, death is merley an advancement in our relationship w. him. its the only relationship that will continue after death.

grave next to a city

For a while ive wanted to check out this cemetary by my job. its beautiful and ive been hesitant to go in. Today i decided to go spend some time there and i couldnt help but notice how still it was. there was no motion, no noise, no people. I started reading all the names i could on the grave plotts , i even saw a plott for a couple who had died together. it was sereal knowing that this is where  the road ends. once youre here , you dont leave. as i pulled away from the long narrow road leading into the cemetary and drove onto the buisy road i couldnt help but notice the difference in attmosphere within 10ft of leaving the cemetary. all of lifes rushes and buisyness can be turned off, silenced within those 10ft. you leave all the cares of life on the road, and u enter a community of silence and peace...of rest.
