“Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.” – Maya Angelou

First Principles: Felicity, the Companion of Content, Is Rather Found In Our Own Breasts Than In the Enjoyment of External Things

Holding On
Holding On
by Michael Doyle
When darkness comes
Taking away the light,
I put my eyes on Jesus
Knowing His path is right.
When I am overcome,
And feel nothing but grief,
I keep my eyes on the kingdom,
And my prayers seek His relief.
When my pain is beyond belief,
I hold onto the Savior's name.
In His long salve of relief,
I keep my faith beyond all my shame.
I might not always walk the Path,
But I know my Lord's way.
I may struggle, but I know the math,
And will be faithful to judgment day.
Old look, new look, it's still the same.
I keep my faith in God's good name.
In life's endless, grinding miles,
Jesus keeps His love keeping me in smiles.

Thought For the Day: Science and Religion Are Not Antagonists. On the Contrary, They Are Sisters. While Science Tries To Learn More About Creation, Religion Tries To Better Understand the Creator
“Science and religion are not antagonists. On the contrary, they are sisters. While science tries to learn more about the creation, religion tries to better understand the Creator. While through science man tries to harness the forces of nature around him, through religion he tries to harness the force of nature within him.” – Wernher von Braun, (The Voice of Dr. Wernher von Braun: An Anthology (Collectors Guide Pub, 2007)

Never Let Me Go
Never Let Me Go
by Michael Doyle
Nothing can change how I feel.
My God's goodness keeps it real.
The truth is so sublime.
My God is faithful all the time.
Whatever battle, whichever foe,
There is one thing that I know.
The truth of my God is known by me.
It's held in my heart faithfully.
Jesus, my Lord, never let me go,
Though the world rocks me, to and fro.
The truth I cling to is sublime.
My God is faithful all the time.
As I walk through the best and worst of days,
I fill my heart and voice offering praise.
With the hallelujah of highest praise,
He breaks the chains of my living days.
Sometimes overcome by words outspoken,
There are moments my heart is broken.
But I walk on knowing God's will must be done,
My soul is faithful to the Father and the Son.
Jesus, my Lord, never let me go,
Though the world rocks me, to and fro.
The truth I cling to is sublime.
My God is faithful all the time.

First Principles: Let Us Not Be Unmindful That Liberty Is Power
“Let us not be unmindful that liberty is power, that the nation blessed with the largest portion of liberty must in proportion to its numbers be the most powerful nation upon earth. Our Constitution professedly rests upon the good sense and attachment of the people. This basis, weak as it may appear, has not yet been found to fail. Always vote for a principle, though you vote alone, and you may cherish the sweet reflection that your vote is never lost. America, in the assembly of nations, has uniformly spoken among them the language of equal liberty, equal justice, and equal rights.” – John Quincy Adams
