Somewhere along the journey
When life's hard times get tough,
A still, small voice but whispers,
“You've wandered long enough.”
God understands your “balanced life”
And honors all your zeal,
He knows you love to worship Him
And that your walk is real.
He's seen you in the dark of night
When no one is around,
He's heard you cry out in the night
When no one heard a sound.
He knows that on the surface
You daily bear your cross,
But also knows the compromise
When you might suffer loss.
He loves you; oh, He loves you;
Yet His analysis
Is, “Child, I love you so much...
There's more to life than this.”
“There is a deeper walk with Me
Let's just call Satan's bluff...
Go ahead and say to Me,
‘I've wandered long enough.'
“I want to enter Canaan's gates
With all its plains and lakes,
I want whate'er you have for me;
Oh, God whate'er it takes!
Lead me to that promised land
And may I ne'er return
Give me all there is of Christ
Oh, for that life I yearn!
I've wandered long enough, dear, Lord
I want whate'er I lack,
Whate'er it takes, take Me I pray
And I will ne'er turn back.

Somehow people reasoned that that if the gods were moving, they must be getting close to earth so they would lift their "prayers" or "wishes" (literally, "desires") whenever they saw the stars falling in hopes the gods would notice and grant a favorable answer. But how does one wish on falling star? Once you see it, it's gone before the wish or prayer can be made! The answer is simple: meteor shower. That's how to get your wish. Mrs. Ann Hodges had a wish fall right into her lap. Sort of. In 1954 Mrs. Hodges was sleeping on the couch when a 8 1/2 pound meteorite fell through her house and into her living room where it bounced off the radio and struck her left hip leaving her with a bruise. Not sure what she was wishing, but that's not how to do it. Epictetus hel...
