I was in my dream, but it wasn't a dream it was real.
I was actually there, standing at the edge of the forest, looking at the lake.
The water was so blue it was sparkling like gemstones in the sun.
My eye caught something in the water about twenty yards out.
I could only see his shoulders and head above the water.
Still holding the crystals together in my hands, I strolled down to the edge of the lake.
"Hey," I shouted as casually as possible.
I hope you enjoyed this week's snippet! Did you guess where she was correctly?


Brandy Leigh Mustio recommends EcoStar Diamond.
EcoStar Diamonds gave me the perfect wedding set customized just the way I wanted!
and come at a terrible cost to those who live in the conflict zones where traditional diamonds are mined.
I decided to call EcoStar Diamond to see if they could help me find what I wanted. They were so helpful.
wedding set that's one of a kind! It came conflict free, was made in an environmentally friendly way and at a fair cost.
I couldn't be happier with my set and I would never shop anywhere else for diamonds.

Thank you for everything you have done. It will never go unnoticed!
I received the ring I purchased from you. I gotta tell you, I was a bit sceptical ordering a lab diamond, but it is perfect!
She is beyond happy with it.
love the ring and my husband was very proud to give it to me.
Everyone loves the ring. It was a perfect and magical night.
I recently purchase a beautiful engagement ring from this store. The customer and quality of their items are exceptional.
Hi Brad - It's been a year :) and absolutely love my ring!! Thank you again for all your hard work.
I LOVE THE CUSTOM RING DESIGN!!! The only question I have is the "flatness" of the edge of the entire ring.
Can you "round" out the edges more and make the band itself more dome-like? The setting itself of the stones are perfect.
Its just the band. Width is exactly what I wanted.... with the edge of the band having that rounded edge rather than it being straight.
my perfect ring. I appreciate all the hard work you are putting into this ring. IT IS TRUELY A WORK OF ART and I will cherish it!
with diamond ring we purchased. A special thanks to Brad for making the whole experience a wonderful one.
that I ordered!!!! He took my old stone and set it in a Necklace for me so I always have it around my neck---- very nice items!
which made me feel comfortable with the purchasing process. This purchase met my expectations!
My Fiance got me the sandi ring with matching wedding band. It is so beautiful and sturdy! It isn't cheap looking.
Everyone loves it and thinks we paid thousands of dollars! They can't tell the difference because there is none!
I am definitely buying other items from here in the future!
I want to thank you for the wonderful rings you had made for my two daughters, along with the bonus earrings for Christmas.
are over! I would like to wish you and yours and all the staff of the company a Happy Holidays and all the best in the coming year.

What is the right way of diet fitness? Any movement, it is impossible for any person at the same time, if tall and thin, more sensible approach is to train muscle tone and vitality of the cardiovascular system. If the squat, they have to make choices on the lower body endurance exercise and symmetry of movement.
Exercise alone is not enough, but also must be reasonable and let the body absorb nutrients in a good state of mind, speaking both simple and complex, in fact, that is, physical and spiritual satisfaction of a state.Variety of breakfast indispensable:Yes. The ideal breakfast should be a supplemental water to drink, a dairy protein and calcium supplement, a number of carbohydrate cereal or bread and a fruit supplement composed of vitamins and minerals. This can make breakfast after a night of sleep in to recover. Of course, if hungry, you do not get up to eat breakfast. But preferably within 3 hours to get up to drink water and eat snacks (cheese, fruit), to avoid hypoglycemia in recent phenomenon at noon. Instead, the diet without breakfast is a foolish and keeps the morning snack or lunch to eat due to hunger and calories higher and more greasy food.Should eat less at night than at noon:Wrong. "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar." Some people believe the old adage that eating at night to prevent weight gain than the midday light. Of course, one afternoon, the consumption of calories per hour, higher than the night, but at night than during the day a long time interval between meals. Even in sleep, our body also burns calories to maintain breathing and heart beat and digestion. Therefore, if not go to bed immediately after eating, you need not worry about a light lunch and hearty dinner will lead to weight gain. In fact, the human body in a day or even week to adjust itself in order to balance.Should drink plenty of water:Yes. Should drink water about 1.5 liters per day? If you engage in certain sports, have to drink more. 2% if the water body, physical strength will drop by 20%. During the weight loss diet, drink plenty of water helps the body release more waste. Water cannot make people lose weight, but at the same time can eliminate toxins, eliminate the body's fatigue and to prevent kidney stones. The only advice: be ready to add water during the day, and do not drink too many soft drinks.To lose weight fast, be exhausting:Both yes and no. The question is not what kind of speed minus a few kilograms of weight, but should be the rule, focus on feelings and consider their way of life, the right to develop weight-loss plan. Of course, the weight loss will always debilitating. Because:1, even a balanced diet, but also to maximize the control of food intake. 2, due to lack of dietary protein, so less weight, but also consumes the physical strength. 3, on the contrary, if the high levels of dietary protein, carbohydrate content was very low.

This is to introduce a tool I have developed to improve the task of searching for exploits, especially linux kernel exploits.
I have always found a bit awkward the process of searching for exploits with searchsploit or the online exploit database search application or google. With the latter, there are captchas, sometimes hard to solve (those street sign pictures...) or it is easy to repeat the same exploits, especially Linux Kernel exploits for privesc. Another problem is that, with the nomenclature they use in the exploit database, sometimes it is very easy to overlook exploits that are the right ones, but in their name the kernel version is not very specific. With searchsploit, it is also awkward to have to use (at least that's the fastest I could find) locate, cat and grep, and to chain several greps, to find what you need.
I have written a python GUI program that is very simple to use, and (in my opinion) a much better alternative to the existing ones, overcoming the limitations that they have. It only searches the Exploit database, since it runs local (no packet storm, etc), but for most cases we just use Exploit DB, right ?
Hope you guyz find it helpful, I know I do!
There is a couple of minor additions I will make soon to this program.
Great program, code needs editing because the location of exploit. files isnt where it says.

A Guide to What You're Seeing Under the Sea
Hawaii's remote location in the middle of the Pacific Ocean has led to some interesting marine inhabitants.

Snorkeling is simply a must for visitors. Here's a quick guide to marine life in Hawaii's near-shore waters—and how to interact with it.
About 25 percent of Hawaii's fish species are endemic. That is, they are found in Hawaii and nowhere else in the world. Hawaii's isolation encourages endemism. As fish species made their way to Hawaii—usually floating on the currents during its larval stage—they adapted to their new environment in ways unique from their ancestors. Milletseed butterflyfish and saddle wrasse are two common fish that you won't find snorkeling elsewhere on the planet. Even within the Hawaiian archipelago, you'll find fish common around one island that are considered rare at another island. The bandit angelfish, for example, is regularly seen off the near-shore waters of Kauai but only at deeper depths elsewhere. The Kona Coast of Hawaii Island is famous for its masses of yellow tangs. Interestingly enough, Hawaii's State Fish—the Picasso triggerfish, also known as, humuhumunukunukuapuaa—is not endemic to Hawaii.
We're talking anything without a backbone here: lobsters, crabs, octopuses, shrimps, snails, sea urchins, and sponges. About 20 percent of Hawaii's marine invertebrates are endemic. One of the species of invertebrates for which Hawaii is well known is its cowries—the reticulated cowry is commonly found along rocky coastlines. Invertebrates inhabit the coral reef environment and tide pools and are generally most active at night.
The corals of Hawaii are not made up of the purple and pink and vibrant colors seen elsewhere in the world. Scientists say it's due to the relative youth of Hawaii's volcanic islands. There are really only a half-dozen Hawaiian corals commonly found throughout the main Hawaiian Islands. As such, a rocky sea floor with scattered, low corals is typical. Hawaii Island's Kona Coast has the greatest concentration of near-shore coral species.
Green sea turtles
First and foremost, do not touch, chase, "ride" or interact with any marine animal. Many of Hawaii's marine species are endangered, and this action could be ruled a "take" and a violation of the Endangered Species Act. Also, in order to keep wildlife wild, please do not feed any wild animal, either, from small reef fish to a monk seal. Numerous of Hawaii's marine life hauls out on the sand—for example, turtles and monk seals. This is a natural part of the animal's ecology, so it's not necessary—and may be harmful—to urge them back into the water. A "no disturbance" policy is a good rule of thumb in wildlife watching, whether under water or on land. This includes dolphins. Interacting with dolphins during their rest phase may alter their behavior and make them more vulnerable to predation by sharks. If you do come upon an injured, entangled and/or expired marine animal, please call 1-888-256-9840.
Sea turtles have been around longer than the Hawaiian Islands themselves—over 100 million years. In Hawaiian culture, they have almost mythic status, and some Hawaiians consider the honu their ancestral guardian, or aumakua. The species' name reflects the color of the turtle's fat, a result of a herbivorous diet. Revered as turtles were, their numbers precipitously declined until 1978 when the green sea turtle was protected under the Endangered Species Act. After a monumental comeback, it's no longer unusual to run across turtles while snorkeling or taking a walk on the beach. And while most lay their eggs in the remote Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, a few have started to nest in the main Hawaiian Islands again.
Another testament to the Endangered Species Act, each year, more and more Humpback whales migrate from Alaska to Hawaii during the winter months. Females make the month-long journey to give birth in the warm, shallow waters of Hawaii—where very few of their predators venture. The males follow the females in the hopes of breeding. While humpbacks can be found throughout the archipelago from Hawaii Island to Kauai, greater concentrations are found in the sheltered waters between Maui, Lanai, and Kahoolawe. The best months for whale watching are January through March and while it's highly unusual to encounter a humpback while snorkeling or diving, there is a chance you might hear them under water. For years, scientists have documented the complex and changing song made only by males. Why they sing is a bit of a mystery, although one hypothesis is the song communicates with other males in a way that encourages cooperation or competition in mating activity.
Hawaii's spinner dolphins forage far offshore at night, so they can often be seen during daylight hours resting in near-shore, sandy-bottom bays where they swim on "automatic pilot," as halves of their brains alternate between rest and wakeful states. This allows them to surface for a breath of air. As dolphins go, this species is rather small, growing from four to seven feet and weighing between 100 and 165 pounds. They have long, narrow beaks, and distinguishing coloration—their dark grey dorsal side gives way to medium-grey flanks and a light grey belly. Scientists recognize individuals based on the unique shape, nicks, and notches of their dorsal fins.
Hawaiian monk seals
The Hawaiian monk seal is one of the most endangered marine mammals in the world, with an estimated population of 1,100. Hawaiian monk seals do not live in colonies like sea lions or elephant seals. While clumsy on land, their streamlined bodies are built for plying the ocean's waters, where they spend two-thirds of their lives, foraging for days and, even, weeks far off-shore before returning to land. On average, monk seals hold their breath for six minutes and dive some 300 feet below the sea's surface to find food, although they can hold their breath as long as 20 minutes and dive to depths of 1,500 feet. The majority of monk seals live in the chain of low-lying islands that make up the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, but approximately 15% of the total population can be found in the near-shore waters and on the beaches of the main Hawaiian Islands, in particular Kauai, Oahu, and Molokai.
Yes, the waters off Hawaii have its share of sharks just like any other ocean, although the majority snorkelers and divers will see under ledges and around the reef are non-aggressive. The Hawaiian word for shark is mano. In traditional times and even still today, certain sharks were believed to embody the spirit of family ancestors as aumakua, and were given offerings of food. Cousins to the shark, the skeleton of manta rays is also made of cartilage. Manta rays grow to 15- to 20-foot wingspans and are filter feeders, eating plankton. They do not have a stinger and are not common on the reef. The much smaller spotted eagle ray with a six-foot wingspan has been known to frequent certain reefs in small groups.

Tom Mix and Poodles Hanneford: The Sells Floto Circus Comes to Jackson
In 1929, the Sells Floto Circus was winding up its touring season in Mississippi. That year, the circus was part of a consortium of circuses, including the Hagenbeck-Wallace, John Robinson, Sparks and Al G. Barnes circuses, all forming the American Circus Corporation. The whole group had been purchased that year by John N. Ringling (one of the famous Ringling Brothers) to create a virtual monopoly of shows. However, the Sells Floto Circus still toured under its own name and was scheduled to make an appearance in Jackson on October 1. As usual, the management sent advance men to put up advertising for the circus, which had been drawing huge crowds because of Tom Mix, the cowboy star. Arriving in the capital city in mid-September, the advance men proceeded to put up posters and billboards up and down Capitol Street until the store windows were "covered with tidings of the show's approach." Unfortunately, this did not sit well with the city council, and the eight men were promptly arrested for "illegal bill posting." Although it was certainly not the first time the circus had to deal with issues involving their posters (on occasion they were dragged into court with other circuses over such matters), Sells Floto clearly had some public relations work to do in Jackson.
There were plenty of other posters and advertising bills in Jackson, so litter wasn't the problem. In fact, there were "luridly attractive" fliers by the thousands nailed to every post and pole from Jackson to Memphis placed by the 101 Ranch Wild West Show, which was scheduled appear at the Mississippi State Fair. Unfortunately, Sells Floto was slated to come to town at the same time the state fair would be at the fairgrounds, and the city had little interest in diverting customers away from the Wild West Show. Sells Floto had Tom Mix, though, and had been attracting throngs of onlookers at every stop. After the eight men released, the circus management (officially Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey) sent a young lawyer to represent their interests. A recent graduate of the University of Mississippi law school and newly married, the circus' attorney would later make a big name for himself in Mississippi politics: Ross Barnett. After meeting with the mayor and city council (Mayor Walter Scott was actually a supporter of the circus), the 31-year old Barnett (above) informed city officials that the circus show would proceed as planned on October 1, but would be held "outside the city limits, of course." To show his appreciation, Mayor Scott agreed to let the circus hold a parade for those who couldn't afford a ticket to see the elephants and other attractions, including Tom Mix. However, E. L. Bailey, the Jackson school superintendent, refused to allow the schools to close for "show day," as had apparently been the tradition. On the other hand, the superintendent announced that any child attending the parade would be counted as an excused absence. Based on the number of people who met the circus at the rail yard, there were likely very few children in school that day.
On Tuesday, October 1, the Daily Clarion-Ledger reported on the arrival of the circus and gushed over the appearance of the main attraction, Tom Mix. Thomas Hezikiah Mix, born in Pennsylvania in 1880, was a bona fide movie star. Appearing in more than 160 cowboy pictures in the 1920s, Mix (right) was known for doing all sorts of tricks with his horse, Tony (known as "The Wonder Horse"). By the 1930s, Mix was on his fifth wife and had blown through much of his personal wealth and then, tragically, died in an auto accident on October 12, 1940, in Arizona. After swerving to avoid a washed-out bridge, Mix was killed when an aluminum suitcase filled with money, travelers' checks and jewelry flew forward in the car and broke his neck. But that was still more than a decade away. In 1929, he was the equivalent of a rock star. "Mix, by his athletic living, clean habits and dare-devil prowess…" the paper reported, "has endeared himself to the youth of the land, and he is every inch the ideal heroic figure the motion picture camera has depicted."
In addition to Tom Mix, the circus also featured Cliff Aeros, the Human Cannonball (a native of Germany) and Poodles Hanneford (below left) with his Famous Riding Hannefords, along with all the trappings of a circus big-top. Born in a circus wagon in England, Hanneford was descended from jugglers who entertained King George III. After moving to the United States in 1915, Poodles (a nickname he acquired as a child) joined the Ringling Brothers circus and continued to perform as a clown and trick rider until 1954. To meet Ross Barnett's promise to perform outside the city limits, the tents were set up in "Latimer's pasture" just off of Claiborne Avenue, which in 1929 was the western city limits of Jackson. Thus, while technically "outside the city limits," it was by a few feet at the most. Meanwhile, the rival 101 Ranch Wild West Show went off without a hitch at the state fairgrounds. Two days later, the circus moved to Meridian and set up shop there. Reporting on the "big show," the Meridian Star noted that the circus featured "three herds of elephants, a 50 den menagerie of wild beats and an excellent side show of freaks." After finishing the show in Meridian, the Sells Floto Circus folded its tents and headed home to Indiana, where the circus went into winter quarters. Alas, the great days of the traveling circus were quickly drawing to a close. The decline was due to a number of factors, not the least of which was the Great Depression, which hit like a hammer at the end of the month. Also, other entertainment venues, especially the same movie industry that made Tom Mix famous, were more widely available to average Americans. Finally, the beginnings of suburban sprawl and traffic meant fewer places for the circuses to go and fewer opportunities for parades of clowns, bands and elephants. By 1932, Sells Floto, along with most other traveling circuses, were no more and in 1939 the horse-drawn circus parade became a relic of the past.
Although Sells Floto ceased operation in 1932, there is still one curious relic of the circus on display. On a very hot day in August 1928, Mary, an Asian elephant, broke loose from her trainers and went charging toward Main Street, which was filled with people. Concerned that someone might get trampled to death, the mayor of Lewiston (who also happened to be a big game hunter) went home to get his gun. Although her handlers had calmed her down, the big-game-hunting mayor shot Mary to death. Witnesses indicated that the elephant had simply been thirsty and was trying to get a drink of water. Unfortunately, Mary's death was just one of numerous elephant deaths during the traveling circus era. Today, if you're ever in Lewiston, Idaho, you might be able to visit what remains of Mary the elephant (right), which is her trunk mounted on a trophy. This odd (and disturbing) relic is in a private collection.
Of course, there are still circuses. In fact, the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus recently came to Jackson where they advertised a show full of "astounding acrobats, vibrant visuals and prodigious performers." The "Greatest Show on Earth" no longer travels by rail, though, and doesn't have a parade of elephants down Capitol Street. They did, however, get to perform at the Mississippi State Fairgrounds, a location unavailable to them in 1929. And this time, hopefully, no one was arrested for illegal bill posting.

Thanks for the great article! One small clarification. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey DOES indeed continue to travel by rail - and in fact the circus owns the two largest privately held trains in the world!

In an age where relationships are measured in milliseconds with swipes right and digitized hearts littering our notifications, 36?'s newest album, Milk Mountain, comes across as the soundtrack for figuring yourself out amidst all the noise and chaos. It's a complex record, one that takes frontman-songwriter Taylor Cochrane's precocious talent for putting together (and pulling apart) undeniable hooks and elevates it all with intensely personal songwriting that comes from a position of self-realization, acceptance and love.
Although it's the band's most ambitious and most polished effort to date, their signature sound, a free-spirited collision between art and pop, remains intact. There's a more complete confidence driving it forward, catching the attention of the taste-making Vancouver label, File Under: Music, who will release Milk Mountain this month supported by a tour through the States.
It's also an album that represents a major evolution for Cochrane as a songwriter. Since he first started writing music as a teen, Cochrane has always considered himself "a medium for the art to speak through," rather than mining his own personal experiences to transmute into song. But on Milk Mountain, for the first time, he offers up a direct conduit to his innermost feelings.
What makes Milk Mountain so powerful as a record is that it offers a glimpse into an identity in flux — Cochrane in transition not only as a songwriter, but a person who is learning to accept who he is and what he is looking for in his personal, romantic relationships. Placing himself as an artist into the songs front and center, rather than writing through fictionalized characters, Taylor came to terms with who he is in his own life. On the song "Jealous," he straddles his changing sense of self in order to explore his emerging identity as a polyamorous person.
That particular situation was realizing that his monogamous relationship at the time wasn't necessarily who he really was, and that he was being unfair to himself and his partner by erasing his identity as a polyamorous person. With the track "But I Don't Know Myself (Suddenly)," Cochrane continues his exploration, bridging the chasm between his old identities and his newfound confidence — a "catalyst," as he puts it, for his self-realization.
Embracing his polyamorous self and understanding that his "feelings are valid, even if they're not the norm," Milk Mountain is driven by the massive changes in who Cochrane is and being willing to accept himself for that.

Q: Path component should be '/' I'm trying to create a FileSystem object to hold an ext2 filesystem. My URI seems to be invalid, giving me a path component should be '/' run time error.
I'm using Windows and have my project in Eclipse, with a subdirectory called "fs" that holds the filesystem image.
My code...
URI uri = URI.create("file:/C:/Users/Rosetta/workspace/filesystemProject/fs/ext2");
/* uri holds the path to the ext2 file system itself */

try {
    FileSystem ext2fs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(uri, null);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
    /* ... code */
}

I have loaded the filesystem as a File object and used the getURI method to make sure my URI is the same as the actual URI, and it is.
How can I get the filesystem loaded?
EDIT:
Stack trace below
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path component should be '/'
    at sun.nio.fs.WindowsFileSystemProvider.checkUri(Unknown Source)
    at sun.nio.fs.WindowsFileSystemProvider.newFileSystem(Unknown Source)
    at java.nio.file.FileSystems.newFileSystem(Unknown Source)
    at java.nio.file.FileSystems.newFileSystem(Unknown Source)

A: Why not use a Path object?
newFileSystem(Path path, ClassLoader loader)
Constructs a new FileSystem to access the contents of a file as a file system.

Note the three constructors:
static FileSystem   newFileSystem(Path path, ClassLoader loader)
Constructs a new FileSystem to access the contents of a file as a file system.

static FileSystem   newFileSystem(URI uri, Map<String,?> env)
Constructs a new file system that is identified by a URI

static FileSystem   newFileSystem(URI uri, Map<String,?> env, ClassLoader loader)
Constructs a new file system that is identified by a URI

A: This worked for me on Windows. Haven't tested it out in other OS yet
 private void openZip(File runFile) throws IOException {
    Map<String, String> env = new HashMap<>();
    env.put("create", "true");
    env.put("encoding", "UTF-8");
    System.out.println(runFile.toURI());
    Files.deleteIfExists(runFile.toPath());
    zipfs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(URI.create("jar:" + runFile.toURI().toString()), env);
    //zipfs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(runFile.toPath(), getClass().getClassLoader()); //-----does not work
    //zipfs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(URI.create("jar:file:/c:/Users/Siraj/Documents/AAAExport4.zip"), env);  //---works
 }

A: The WindowsFileSystemProvider's checks that the URI's path is only '/'. The uri is perfectly valid as URI, the problem is the FileSystem's requisites. crashystar has it right (I can't comment yet) and a Path should be used.
If you read the JavaDoc of newFileSystem(Path, ClassLoader) you'll see the ClassLoader can be left at null, so you just need to do
Path path = Paths.get("C:/Users/Rosetta/workspace/filesystemProject/fs/ext2");
FileSystem ext2fs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(path, null);

By leaving it at null Java tries to locate an installed provider (so you could not expect a custom provider to be used). If it were a custom provider you'd have to use a ClassLoader that can load that provider. If the provider is on your classpath, it'd be enough to do
getClass().getClassLoader()

Since you say you just want the OS to do that, leave it at null.

A: you can try this:
URI uri = URI.create("jar:file:/C:/Users/Rosetta/workspace/filesystemProject/fs/ext2");

Be joyful because it is humanly possible.: .on shame.
deeply and, it felt to me at the time, irrationally.
but I couldn't tie my reaction to any one of those things.
I really really don't like shame.
and also discussing the role of shame.
shouldn't we feel ashamed when we really do things that are wrong?
I spend a lot of time seeing the ways shame has been just flat-out ridiculously and wrongly applied.
I've worked with girls who have lived through abuse.
I have seen people shamed for being young, or uninformed, or fallible, or different.
or for poor decisions which have been repented of and fully forgiven.
and it conditions me to reject it on principle.
But what about when we have really, really done something wrong?
Shouldn't we feel shame then?
Couldn't it maybe help us be better? Or make things right?
what I have finally put my finger on that makes me reject shame so fully.
Shame does not allow relationship.
I took a Psychology of Shame class last summer.
The professor had us watch movie clip after movie clip of scenes where characters expressed shame, and note their body language and facial expressions.
Picture shame. Can you see a person pull back... break eye contact?
Picture feeling ashamed. Where do your eyes go?
Mine go to the floor.
I can feel my body tense and curl into itself.
I don't want to look someone in the eye when I am ashamed.
When I feel shame, I don't want to stand close to others.
Shame removes us from relationship with others.
And ultimately, it makes us apply that same separation to our relationship with God.
When I have sinned, I want to be convicted.
I want to feel bad. I want to feel regret. I want to be filled with remorse.
I need to see and feel what I have done.
to wince and own it.
With God, and with others.
I am, in effect, taking a step towards them.
they are moving towards me as well.
I might mutter an apology; I might mean it.
to look up into their face to see the forgiveness there.
Break eye contact with Him?
Not let Him touch me?
hope He doesn't see me?
Conviction, yes. Conviction leads us to move towards.
can't look openly into a face.
Shame says keep a distance and be alone.
May we never believe that lie.
Our God always longs to bring us near.
Gorgeous! And so deeply true.
YES. Heart of the Lord, beautifully spoken. A good challenge for me as I consider how I parent-- to lean into convicting/correcting/drawing in and to step away from shame. Thank you!
